Re: Reallocating Disk Space on 2003 Server

Backup everything, delete both partitions, recreate them in the needed
sizes, restore from your backups. If the disk is dynamic you may be able to
skip deleting one of the partitions. You need either a 3rd party tool or
better yet install more storage. Whatever you do backup first.

Hello,

I have a Windows 2003 Server with three partitions. C, D and an E
drive (all the same physical hard disc). I would like to reallocate
disk space from the D to the E Drive. What is the best way to
accomplish this if it is possible. I would prefer not to use a
third-party application if possible.
Thanks.
