Need Space on RAID 5

Below are some cases that RAID 5 users run into low disk space problem:

"Hello! I have Windows Server 2003 operating system on my PC with 3 SATA disks in RAID 5. Recently, the C drive on RAID 5 is running out of disk space and system frequently pops up low disk space warning message. Can I resize RAID 5 C drive on Windows Server 2003 without reinstalling system or rebuilding the array? What can I do to?"

"RAID 5 is running on low disk space on system partition on Windows SBS 2003 Standard. The RAID 5 array is created by 3 disks. There are two partitions on RAID 5, which include a system partition and a data partition. Now, the problem is that both system partition and data partition are nearly full. Should I rebuild the array to resize the RAID 5? Can I simply add a new hard disk to extend system partition without rebuilding the RAID 5 array?"
