Re: Creating a partition in unpartioned space

It's a P4-2.4, 768MB RAM, repurposed PC with an 80GB single drive (I have a
250GB waiting in the wings that I can drop in as a second drive as needed),
loaded with SBS 2003 R2 Premium running in single NIC mode, destined to be
used as a home server. None of it's work will be mission-critical, but
rather to help me learn more about the capabilities of the server. My near
term goals are to:

1) host a website for which I own a domain name
2) host new email addresses that I will create
3) use the server to back up our 5 home desktops/notebooks.
4) explore Sharepoint and how it can be used in a home / home-based small
business environment.
5) host an FTP server

I plan to always keep my primary existing emails hosted by an ISP while I
bump my head getting the Exchange Server working right. Regarding the single
NIC decision, I tried to read up in advance and went single NIC, to prevent
wreaking havoc with the family's internet connectivity while I noodled
around. I'm considering dropping in a second NIC and using SBS with a spare
wireless router that I have, configuring it for use with SBS. If everything
works, then great. If it doesn't, I can default back to the regular router
that I am CERTAIN will work while I keep tinkering while the family sleeps -
lol.


Load should be extremely light with a sporadic duty cycle.

Thanks for asking, I appreciate your advice.

Create your Extended partition and Logical Drives
Name & Format them. (NTFS of course)

p.s. In the interest of saving you hassles later....
Is this a "real" sever or just a workstation you're testing SBS on ?
What's you load, and Disk Subsystem ?

When setting up SBS on a spare computer that formerly ran Win XP Pro, I
elected to repartition the existing hard drive. I allocated 30GB to the
C:
partition for system files. Setup didn't prompt me to create a D:
partition,
so I never did. Now, I'm fully installed, but have no access to the
balance
of my hard drive. How can I create a D: partition now to access the
balance
of my hard drive?
