Extending a Partition from the Command Line
</pre>
In the case of dynamic disks, the extend command can also be used to allocated disk space from other disk drives(a concept known as a spanned volume). In this case the ''disk='' directive must be specified as part of the extend command. For example to extend the currently selected partition (on disk 1) by 6Gb using space from disk 2:
<pre>
DISKPART> extend size=6000 disk=2
</pre>
 
More detailed information on dynamic disks and spanned volumes can be found in the chapter of this book entitled [[Creating and Managing Simple and Spanned Volumes on Windows Server 2008]].
