If you have created only one logival drive on your raid (with 2 partitions) you can expand your raid without lossing data. Insert new drives, start netraid assistent select existing logical drive and new physical drives and find menu item expand drive. If you have not enabled virtual capacity on your existing logical drive you will have to restart server after rebuilding drives to make windows see newly created space. On this space you can create new partiotion or expand existing partition.
