Adding HD using raid span: can I keep the installed windows?
Wondering if I can add space to my existing System drive without reinstalling windows. Can I just configure the new drive as part of a span of the c drive, or is this not possible without a reformat/OS install?.

You can also mount a drive to an empty ntfs folder in disk management. You can then put my documents or whatever is taking a lot of space there.
If you have a raid capable motherboard or a raid capable controller.
You could ghost it to another drive and then do a span and ghost it back. It would require a total of 3 drives or you could save the ghost partition to a cd (or to more cd's)
If you're using a new raid card make sure you install drivers first, before ghost, otherwise it may not boot.

I run my docs off my server. Saves lots of space
