I have a Server already installed with Windows 2000 Server Operative System
and it's on production now. That Server has an array of three disk of 10 GB
of capacity per everyone, those one are Pluggable Universal hard Drive, so I
defined an array and designed it as Primary Partion and that Partition is of
33 GB in total. Now I bought a new Pluggable Universal Hard Drive of 72GB,
and inserted the Hard Disk into the Server Hardware, I need to configure and
define that hard disk through the Disk Management as additional or another
Primary Partition of 72 GB with other Drive Letter, How could I do that? May
you explain that in details please?
Further Information, The Server is a HP Proliant DL380 that works with
Pluggable Universal Hard Drives. The Operative System is Windows 2000 Server
in English.

disk management is pretty much self-explanitory

simply format the new drive as a primary partition
and assign which ever drive letter you wish

note: since your first three removable drives are defined as an array
you must never do anything to change that unless you have all your data
backed up
