Can't extend volume under Server 2008 SP2. Please help?
Disk 1 has 512 GB taken, but 512 GB unallocated. The extend volume wizard doesn't allow me to click Next with additional space.

Yes it does. 524287. I've never come across that before. Thanks for your help.– AshOct 8, 2014 at 5:49

I'd try making the volume just a tad smaller than the maximum disk size. Note the discrepancy between highlighted value and maximum size. See if that works to restore the grayed-out menu.
It says 524288 is free and you are trying to take more than the free space, ie 524289.
You have the right situation here,
- your disk is basic,
- it is not a system partition
- it is healthy
- it is NTFS
just this tidbit.
