Hi all, I need advices on the following problem I have yet to solve.

Server: PE 6600
O/S : Windows 2003

RAID Card :
PERC 3/QC - For my OS
PERC3/DC - For my data and apps

To my understanding, the PERC 3/DC supports 4 array disks on each channel.

I have replaced 2 x 73HDD in channel 0, disk 0:0 and 0:1 with 2 x 146 GB HDD, which created as Virtual Disk 1 and it successfully done without any problems.

Then I Added the 2 x 73 HDD into the virtual disk 2,which have disk 1:4, 1:5, 1:8 and 1:9 in channel 1. It successfully finished the reconstruction process.

Now I have problem to extend the disk using the diskpart.exe to add the 2 X 73GB (136GB) into the 'F' Drive,which is the disk 1:4, 1:5, 1:8 and 1:9 in channel 1.

The message stated that "The volume size you have selected is too large for the disk. Either select a disk with more free space. or specify a smaller volume."

Anyone can help me on this?? :-(

Million of Thanks
Rolman
