Question : Problem: Using diskpart.exe to extend partition

Hi Folks

Do anyone have any idea how long it will take to extend a 400gb (approx) raid 5 partition with an extra 279gb which has already been added to the raid using hp array mangmt.

The machine is Server2003 with dual xeon and 1.5gb ram and now has 4 x 300gb 10.000rpm scsi drives.

Microsoft advise that this is done in safemode or active directory restore mode and I need an estimate for the powers that be.

Thanks

Adam

Well if you are asking about the amount of time it can vary.

I think maybe 2 hours at the most(provided your hardware allows you to do what you want)
