Figure 9-40 Simple volumes

Spanning Volumes You can extend the size of a simple volume to any

unallocated space on a dynamic disk. You can also extend the volume to grab

extra space on completely different dynamic disks, creating a spanned

volume. This capability is very helpful if you manage an older system that

needs a little more space, but you don’t have time or inclination to upgrade.

To extend or span, simply right-click the volume you want to make bigger,

and choose Extend Volume from the options (see Figure 9-41). This opens

the Extend Volume Wizard, which prompts you for the location of free space

on a dynamic disk and the increased volume size you want to assign (see

Figure 9-42). If you have multiple drives, you can span the volume just as

easily to one of those drives.
