Intel Raid Controller Question

I've got a system with an Intel SRCS14L raid card in it. The system already had a array built, however the drivers are too small for what I need. I would like to upgrade them all but cannot for the life of me figure out how.

Does anyone have experience with something similar to this?
 
I assume you mean drives are too small. Drivers being too small does not make a lot of sense..

Anyways what you want is online expansion.
 
Yes I meant drives. It's been a long day. I apologize for my typo. Anyway, the card only seems to be supported by Windows 2003 ( which is what is on the machine ). The version of Intel Storage Console Plus is at 3.06. I have not seen a single option for online expansion.
 
Also before you attempt anything try to determine the maximum drive size. Since this is a 6+ year old card it may have stupid limitations on drive size that were not corrected by a firmware update. I have seen other raid cards from this era not take 1 TB drives. When I looked this up I saw that Intel ended support for this card long ago.
 
I will be using 4 500GB in raid 5. Currently there are 4 250GB.

Really just using this as a media share. I just have a lot of good quality 500GB that I'd like to raid and this seems like my best option.
 
Thanks for the help. There were a lot more options in the boot up BIOS for the card.
 
I can only find drivers for Server 2003. What are the chances that I could get this card working in Server 2008 or 7?
 
Does anyone have an idea whether I'd be able to use Server 2k8 or 7 with this set up?
