ML350 g3, 532 controller, drive expansion

Running SBS2000Premium...it was 3x 36 gig 10k drives in a single RAID 5, approx 64 gigs
I replaced each drive one by one with 3x 146 gig 15k drives, one every other day....
Now I have over 300 gigs leftover...and wish to "expand" so I can utilize it.
Purchased Acronis Disk Manager to resize the partitions..as SBS2K currently has I think a 10 gig C and a 50 gig D partition in the single RAID 5. I'd like to stretch C to around 40 and D to take all the rest. Also will be upgrading server to SBS2K3 Premium.

The notification the ACU gives me about having a Win2K OS makes me nervous..hence this post...
