I followed the howto at http://www.tomshardware.com/2004/1 [...] _5_happen/
and it worked fine setting up raid-5 with 3 drives.

I'm now running out of disk space and purchased two more drives which I added to the server - but there doesn't seem to be any way to do this. The new drives are recognized by Disk Manager as unallocated dynamic drives, but if I right click there are no options that would allow me to add them to the existing raid-5 set.

Is it not possible to add more drives to a raid-5 set?

Is this related to WinXP? Would changing to Windows Server change anything?
