Server 2003 R2 partition expansion over 2TB

-

i have 1,7tb of unusable space on server, can without deleting or removing data?

 

i have hp proliant dl 380 server has hp smart array 60 connected total of 3,7tb available space on 1 logical unit.

 

the problem array in windows 1 basic disk, 2tb logical partition made on it, why don’t know since pre time. “convert dynamic disk…” grayed out, “new partition…” on empty space. in disk management.

the command “diskpart”, not extend partition on 2tb (or 2047,99gb) on basic disk, , not change dynamic disk either. may because has logical not primary partition?

 

is there way force either 2tb disk grow, or make new partition on free 1,7tb? if worst case happens have backup of data, 2tb takes time move… 

please if has suggestions or tips, not hesitate suggest it.

 

thanks!

1) backup existing data & test have backup !
2) convert disk gpt
3) create partition spanning full size of disk
4) restore data

and know not asked, way !
(really)

sorry,
edwin.
