Extending RAID 5 array on Win2K

Question

I recently added some additional hard drives to an existing RAID5 array on a Win2K box and then reconfigured the virtual disk with the Open Array Manager. I can now see the unallocated disk space, but I do not know how to add this usable space to my existing data volume. Do I need to upgrade from basic to dynamic disk and then extend the existing volume, or do I need to use a third party utility like Partition Magic to extend my existing volume?   Any help would be greatly appreciated.   Thanks in advance! Mfarrar
