Move databases to a larger drive

I have a SQL 6.5 server running on WinNTthat was recently upgraded. The
SQLServer service was stopped, the physical files were manually copied to
the new larger drives, and the SQLServer service was restarted. The problem
is that now when I go to expand the databases (the entire purpose of the
upgrade) SQL Exec doesn't appear to see the larger drive capacity. The
drive lettering was adjusted such that the new larger drives containing the
databases have the drive letters of the original drives, and SQL Exec sees
the databases and brings them online. Is there some other process I should
have used? Is there a way to get SQL Exec to recognize the empty space on
the new drive? Any and all help is greatly appreciated.One must ask..
What the hell are you still doing on 6.5!
