Unable to Partion on Unallocated Space


i have server raid 5 configured max drive space of 2793.00 gb available windows standard server 2008 r2. during installation of windows server standarad 2008 r2, created os partition c: , allocated 2 tb of space.

what discovered through mmc disk management following;
system reserved 100mb
c:\ 2048 gb

unalocated: 745 gb

the unalocated space has no available options utilize , when viewing options on c drives, there no ability extend or partition unalocated space, there reasonable solution make use of space without having re-install os?

 

thanks

unfortunately, no. because mbr initiallized drives can handle max 2tb. larger volumes, youll have use gpt (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/guid_partition_table). unless use uefi instead of bios, windows wont allow gpt boot drive.

there no build in tools can convert drive loseless mbr gpt. when decide setup again, either use uefi bios mode if motherboard supports or try expose smaller boot drive , larger data drive virtual drives raid controller
