   No, you can't do that.   
      
   But you can add a second file to the filegroup, and put that new file on   
   the new disk. You should also turn off autogrow on the original file.   
      
   But it may be better in the long run to move the database file to the new   
   disk entirely.   
      
   See the command ALTER DATABASE in Books Online about these operations.   
   There is a specific topic "Moving Database Files" that can be of interest.
