Re: [WIN7] Expanding a partition in win7

Based on what was displayed, specifically the "Bytes Per Physical Sector" you should apply this "optional" KB patch

I'm not saying it will fix your particular issue but it can't hurt. It's basically just an updated ntfsutil.exe

Click for full size
Because I said I would heres a print screen of the disk manager

for a fix what I'm doing is using my server to copy all the data from the 1st LUN to a 2ND lun (one perk of thin provisioning)

I made sure to select allocation unit size of 4096 and it didn't have any trouble making a 4TB partition (or well 3.5, I rounded it down from 3.6 because as you know a 2TB drive is not quite 2TB and the differance adds up
