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
Thanks for taking the time to reply, Guys.
I will use Ghost to do the job. I already have a license for that. I'm
surprised (appalled) at the prices of the server tools out there to do
the job. I'd be taking a Ghost image anyway first, so all that's
involved is putting the image back on to the disk, and setting new
partition sizes before applying the image. And if it doesn't work, I can
put it right back to how it was.
