In this article we will discuss how to extend your Server C drive, in case you don’t have much space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most of Dedicated Servers comes with most of free space is assigned to D drive, and that make it difficult to extend C drive; because the end sector of C drive is the beginning of D drive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, we need to Delete D drive in order to extend C, then re-create D drive again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s very important to Back up all your Data from D drive before proceeding with extending C drive.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

If your Server has Plesk Image, then you need to enable (Show hidden files), from File Explorer -> View -> Options.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

From Folder Options window -> select View tab -> then select Show hidden files, folders, and drives<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
  • Right-Click on Windows Start menu and select Disk Management <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Our Server here has RAID 1, so working with 1 Disk will affect the other Disk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
    • Remove mirror for both drives C and D<\/li>
    • Right-click on drive D -> remove mirror from disk 1, then right-click again on drive D -> delete \/ remove volume<\/li>
    • Right-click on drive C -> remove mirror from disk 1<\/li>
    • At the end, you will have only partition C on Disk 0, and Disk 1 will look like 1 disk.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
      \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      • Right-click on partition C -> Extend Volume<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
        \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
        • Provide the amount of space to be extended for C Drive (Value is in MB)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          In our example we will add another 100GB (100000 MB), so total for our C drive will be 200GB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          After extend C drive, we need to create D drive. Right-click on Unallocated space, and select New Simple Volume<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

          Now we need to add both drives to RAID mirror, right-click on each drive, and select Add Mirror (Rebuilding Server RAID), then select Disk 1<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

          After Resynching process is done, everything is done, and we are good to go.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
