Extends the volume or partition with focus, and its file system, into free
(unallocated) space on a disk.
Syntax: EXTEND [SIZE=] [DISK=] [NOERR]
EXTEND FILESYSTEM [NOERR]
SIZE= Specifies the amount of space in megabytes (MB) to add to the
current volume or partition. If no size is given, all of the
contiguous free space that is available on the disk is used.
DISK= Specifies the disk on which the volume or partition is
extended. If no disk is specified, the volume or partition is
extended on the current disk.
FILESYSTEM Extends the file system of the volume with focus to cover
the entire volume. For use only on volumes where the file
system was not extended with the volume.
NOERR For scripting only. When an error is encountered, DiskPart
continues to process commands as if the error did not occur.
Without the NOERR parameter, an error causes DiskPart to exit
with an error code.
On basic disks, the free space must be on the same disk as the volume or
partition with focus. The free space must also immediately follow the
volume or partition with focus (start at the next sector offset).
On dynamic disks with simple or spanned volumes, a volume can be extended
to any free space on any dynamic disk. Using this command, you can convert
a simple dynamic volume into a spanned dynamic volume. Mirrored, RAID-5 and
striped volumes cannot be extended.
If the partition was previously formatted with the NTFS file system, the
file system is automatically extended to fill the larger partition. No data
loss occurs. If the partition was previously formatted with a different
file system than NTFS, the command fails with no change to the partition.
If the partition was not previously formatted with a file system, the
partition will still be extended.
A volume or partition must be selected for this operation to succeed.
