I was setting up a 2K3 server machine and installed to the wrong
partition of a drive. Since I have already added workstations and
users to the domain wiping it out and reinstalling isn't an option. I
would like to merge the two drive partitions and put the existing OS
on the single merged C drive. Is this something I can do? BTW...I
have an external USB 2.0 drive of sufficient size to store the entire
system if needed for transfer purposes.

Note: This is an SBS installation so it is everything. DC, Exchange
server, you name it.

Any advice?

TIA
