I meant it would be nice to be aware of it, not necessarily where to find it.

But in, w2k3, if you're expanding the boot partition, you need to attach that drive to different server as a non-boot drive.

These are NOT boot drives and OS is Windows 2003. What is the "best" method? Dell used to have a utility but it's pulled and apparently not "safe"?
