Hey all:

I have a question regarding repartitioning my Raid 5
configuration. Is there a product that will allow me to
repartition the configuration? Right now, I have two
drives set up C: and D: (also M: for exchange). The
consultant who installed my SBS 2000 didn't think to leave
the C: partition big enough for all of the patches MS
would put out. Is there a way I can resize the C:
(currently 600 MB free) and the D:(currently 5.0 GB free)
partitions? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Juan
