Extpart (extend partition) utility instructions:
To download the extpart.exe file: ftp://ftp.dell.com/app/ExtPart.exe
Note:
- To extend a partition you need unallocated space on the hard drive.
- The partition that is going to be extended has to be next to the unallocated space in the Disk Manager view. So if there's a C: and D: drive, and then the unallocated space, the C: cannot be extended with extpart. Only the D: drive.
Confirm the Virtual Disk you want to extend has free/Unallocated space:
Download and extract the file Extpart.exe:
Open a DOS window, browse to the folder in which the file was extracted, and run the Extpart command:
Enter the Partition letter you wish to extend and hit enter (In this example, its the C:\ Drive):
Enter the size in MB you wish to extend the partition by and hit enter (In this example, we extend the partition by 4GB, which is entered as 4096MB [1024MB=1GB]):
A message will confirm the new size. Go back into Array Manager, to the Disk View tab, and hit "F5" (refresh):
Confirm the new Partition now extends across that space:
