I got this from the JISFAQ website. I can't verify this, can anybody
verify or discredit it.
"You can extend simple and spanned volumes only when the volume was
originally created on a dynamic disk. Simple or spanned volumes that
result from a basic to dynamic disk upgrade cannot be extended"

Yes, you can make it dynamic, but be *very* careful if it's a system
disk and you're on W2K. If you're not fully patched, it almost certainly
will BSOD on you, and then may not reboot; check MS KB first, and patch
accordingly.

Subject: [windows2000] Extending a basic disk
Is it possible to extend a basic disk without creating a new logical
drive? If not, can I convert to dynamic disk without losing all my
data....and then extend the existing logical drive?
