I've just installed my new 150gb Raptor, reformated, installed Windows and all necessary updates (inc SP2).

Naturally when I originally formatted the drive it's only been formatted to 127gb and reading the FAQ on here I've attempted to extend this using Diskpart without success.

I've selected the correct drive, selected the correct volume and selected the partition to extend but whatever I try I always get the same message -

"Diskpart failed to extend the volume. Please make sure the volume is valid for extending"

Is there something I am doing wrong or is there another method to get back the missing space?
 
You can't expand the boot or system partitions (same thing in your case) with Diskpart. Slipstreaming SP2 into your install CD and doing a re-install is the cheap option, otherwise it's Partition Magic time.
