AllenM- Not sure about the type of RAID controller being used but there
are (2) 146Gb HDD's. I understand that the RAID-1 setup has one HDD
mirroring the other, correct?
Pegasus- I'm not seeing how to create a new partition within the Disk
Management utility. All of the HDD capacity is allocated as the C:
drive. My desire to partition this is based off of my goal to install
Exchange 2003 on the server. My thinking was to have one partition (C:)
be for the OS (~5Gb); one partition (E:) for the log files (30Gb); and
the remaining partition (F:) for the information store (110Gb).
My rationale for this is that this is roughly how our current Exchange
server is set up (Exchange 5.5 on MS Server 2k).
In your initial post you did not mention that all existing
disk space is already allocated to a single partition.
This is essential! If so then you do need a third-party
tool such as Acronis or PQMagic to resize your partitions
non-destructively. Even then you should first back up
your system, test the backup, then go ahead with the
repartitioning.
