Expandir disco en Windows 2003 Diskpart

Para expandir el disco duro utilizando espacio no particionado en Windows 2003 o XP,
podemos utilizar la utilidad diskpart. Esto no sirve sobretodo para ampliar el espacio en
disco de un equipo virtual.
Importante: No funciona con discos primario o de sistema, solo para discos secundarios o
de datos.
Para ejecutarlo seguiremos los siguientes pasos:
1. Ejecutar Inicio-cmd
2. diskpart
3. list disk (muestra una lista de los discos)
4. select disk=0 (elegimos el disco a aexpandir)
5. detail disk (para ver los diferentes volumenes)
6. select volume=1 (seleccionamos el volumen que queramos expandir)
7. extend (expandimos el disco)
8. detail disk (comprobamos si ha funcionado)
9. exit


Extending a partition by using the GUI WINDOWS
2008

1. In Windows Server 2008 you need to go to Server Manager, found in the Administrative
Tools folder or on the My Computer context menu.
2. Next, scroll down till you get to the Storage section, and in it go to the Disk Management
console.
3. Select the disk you want to extend, for example Drive C.
Note: Extending any volume is fine as long as you have additional unallocated free
space on that same physical hard disk . Note that you can also extend the partition
beyond the physical disk it is located on. This is useful when you run out of space
on that physical hard disk, and have brought in a new physical hard disk that you
wish to use. However, unlike using that new disk as a totally new partition by itself,
this disk (or part of it) becomes a part of a partition located on the first disk. While
useful in some cases, this scenario might cause fault tolerance issues, because this
extended partition is NOT fault tolerant, and if something happens to one physical
disk, all the data on that extended partition becomes unavailable, and data loss can
occur. In any case, such an extended partition can contain an unlimited number of
logical drives.
4. Right-click the disk and select Extend Volume.


5. Click Next.

6. Windows Vista tell you how much space can be added to the existing partition. You can
manually enter the amount of space you want to add by changing the "Select the amount
of space in MB" values. However note that you cannot enter a higher value than the value
already present. As noted above, if you have additional physical hard disks that have
unallocated free space, you can add that space up and further extend the partition to span
multiple disks. Again, be warned, this configuration is NOT fault tolerant. In case one of
the disks malfunctions, you will lose your data.

7. The process will finish quite quickly, and a reboot is NOT required.

Extending a partition by using the command line
Extending a partition or volume can be done via the CLI, or command line interface. This
works in both Vista and Windows Server 2008. In order to do that perform the following
steps:
1. Click Start and type CMD, then press Enter.
2. In the command prompt type
Diskpart
3. Select the right disk drive and partition to work on. Typically this should be disk 0 and
partition 1, but YMMV.
4. Select disk 0
Select partition 1
Note: You may want to perform a LIST operation to view your existing disks and
partitions BEFORE attempting to expand the wrong one. Needless to say, if you
don't have any space you can use on the same disk, you will NOT be able to extend
the partition any further. So no real harm can be done here.
List disk
List partition
5. When the right disk and partitions were selected, perform the EXTEND command. If you
don't specify the size to extend by, then the command will extend the partition by using all
of the contiguous space available on that disk.
Extend size=500
The above command will extend the partition by 500 MB.
Extend
The above command will extend the partition by using all of the contiguous space
available on that disk.
And with that, we are all done!
