Another option: (Try only after taking a full bare metal backup) If both the C and D are both are of same RAID group and are logically partitioned - convert the volumes to Dynamic. Shrink the D drive by let's say 10GB and expand the C drive by 10GB. My wording may be slightly obtuse, but crux

That's a good question. I've only tried gparted on a raid once. It was a raid 1 and insted of seeing it as one drive to adjust the partiton it showed it as two identical drives with identical partitions.. I decided not to use it because I didn't know what would happen if I resized the system part

Re: Resizing C partition in Server 2003

Piece of cake with virtual machines - join the hard drive to another server, expand it using diskpart, join it back to original server. I'm pretty sure Windows 2008 can do a c: expansion natively with diskpart - upgrading may save you a lot of messing about. I'm not sure about the 2008 bit though,

As others have mentioned Acronis DiskDirector does the job, and we use it here extensively on ESX guests. The problem we ran into with DiskDirector is the lack of x64 support and no support for Windows Server 2008. We have since moved to Paragon's Partition Manager 10.0 Server Edition. Almost ident

Never used this tool to do it, but I've successfully used others before. Moving the D partition may take a while as it requires actually moving the data. -Original Message- From: Angus Scott-Fleming [mailto:angu...@geoapps.com] Sent: Friday, January 22, 2010 2:12 PM To: NT System Admin Is
