Re: Disk partitions

There are non-destructive partition resizing utilities. These allow expansion of one partition into disk space made free by shrinking another partition. ServerMagic is one (expensive, as I recall) example. Google for other resizers.

Hi,

I need to repartition the boot SCSI disk on my Windows 2000 server.
Its a 17GB disk, the C: drive is only 2.5 GB, the D: drive is 14.5GB
As you can imagine, since C: is the Windows system drive, space is pretty tight. (300MB free). However the D: drive has 11.5 GB free.
Can I adjust the partition sizes with disk manager or a resource kit tool? Or must I use some kind of cloning tool like Norton Ghost to clone it onto another disk, then clone it back and adjust the partition size then?

Any recommendations welcome.

Thanks,

SW
