How do you change a disk partition on Windows Server 2003?

Question

Hi,
I have Windows server 2003 running on my server. The server has two hard drives. One of these drives is partitioned between C: and D:. C: contains system files as you'd expect while D: contains user data. The C partition is now too small for our needs while the D area has loads of free space. What is the best way to redraw this partition to make more of the disk space available to C and less to D? I can't find anything in MS's documentation.
Thanks,
Paul

Answer 1

insted of redrawing the partition why don't you move and store the date you want on c that is the idea OS and programs on c:and all data on d: then if you computer has a problem you simply format c: and all you data is saved

acronus is a good partitioning software simple to use and it will make c: bigger

Answer 2

It depends how you partitioned the disk in the first place. If you just made D a standard partition, there's nothing you can do about it. If you made the partition a dynamic partition then you'd be able to extend C.

Answer 3

much less difficult way- returned up all your records bypass to bios and choose CD/DVD as first boot device (then difficult disk, and so on) run gparted boot cd - burn it to a disk, boot to it, then partition or format to despite setup you like boot with xp deploy cd.
