Jupiter, Florida (561) 747-6107 -----Original Message----- From: Jim von Stein [mailto:jvonst...@soastc.org] Sent: Monday, December 28, 2009 1:49 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Partiioning tool for ESXi I have a Windows 2003 R2 server that has an inadequately sized system drive (it's an old server). I'm thinking of P-to-V'ing it onto an ESXi box and expanding the drive, but I need a cheap (preferably free - we're a non-profit) partitioning tool that will expand the system drive on a virtual. Any suggestions?
