Can you use the windows diskpart tool to expand the space after the rebuild ?

After it rebuilds with the second drive, you may need to use HP Array Manager to expand the logical drive to use the rest of the space. Then resize your partition.

I have backups of the data and do not want to rebuild the server from scratch (unless I have to). Can I simply take the following steps: * remove a drive to break the mirror, put in the new drive, let it rebuild and complete * remove the second drive, put in the second new drive, and let it rebuild and complete * Use Acronis Disk Director to resize the partition to 300 GB Klint ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
