It will be covered under the RAID 5 array, but the controller can not expand the OS level partition, so it creates a new logical drive that you have to merge with the partition with a "Volume Set". This is done in Disk Administrator in NT.

In the meantime, i'm planning to add an available spare disk to the array, but array configurator (2.21b) only allows to create another logical disk wit the available HD space, not to expand the logical disk as I desire. <BR /> <BR />Any ideas?
