How to Expand HDD on SBS 2003 SP2

Hi everyone,

I have a bit of problem here if you can help me out i'd really
appreciated.
I have a Dell Poweredge SC430 server came with SBS installed and
created 12GB C partition and the rest as a E partition on one disk
which is 80GB in total. Also there is another 80GB as a D drive for
storage.
We recently bought two 320GB HDDs and I wanted to replace old hdds
(80GBs) with these new (320GBs).

If your were me, how would you do this hdd replacement? Or what would
you suggest to solve this problem?
Has anyone tried Norton Ghost?


If I dont use the same partition sizes i think server dont accept the
new partition sizes and gives ntoskrnl.exe is missing or corrupt
problem at the startup and it wont go any further.
I tried another 80GB hdd to test it out, it just works fine with the
system state restore. but i didnt have another 80GB to try the whole
restore.


I had post another topic about having backup/restore problem which was
the replied by one of the MS specialist here kindly suggesting to call
CSS which cost a lot of money and my manager dont want that option, so
i'm trying to find my own solution on this one (old topic:

)


I need some advices folks.

Thanks in advance...
