SBS2003 Repartioning question

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance



Hi all,

We are currently SBS2003 on a "36Gb" drive which is partitioned into 2
drives. C: is 13Gb and D:20Gb.
C: is used for the OS, and email store essentially and D: is our file server
files repository.

We have come to the point where our email store has grown to almost fill
partition C: drive. So what we are looking to do is to be moving the files
to a separate dedicated file server and therefore free up 20Gbs. Is there a
quick, easy and safe way in repartioning C: drive to increase its size.
Is it possible to use PartitionMagic or even use Dynamic Disks?

Can someone help me as we need to do this ASAP, in the least down time as
possible, and with the less risk of lossing any data.

Thanks in advace

William
