HP Smart Array E2001

I have a controller "HP Smart Array E2001" with 3 drives configure for Raid 5 and  two logical partition.  Drive C and Drive D

The OS "Windows Server 2003 is loaded in Drive C

 

I would like to add more drives to the array  increase the size of Drive C  Is this possible without using any third party software

Drive C was created before Drive D

Actually no, this is a limitation of Windows. If you're talking about partitions (logical partition) Windows diskpart is not able to expand C: in that case - only D: because its the last partition on disk. A third party application is the only way to do this.
