Need to Increase Space on Drive

[smittywes38]

Hello Folks,

I have inherited the responsibility to support a 2003 server. The server has 2 partitions with the C drive having been given very little space compared to the other partition. C drive is 11 Gigs of space and only 700 Megs free. The other partition has over 200 Gigs free. Is there a way to increase the amount of space on the C drive while taking space away from the other partition?

Thanks,

Smitty

Easiest is to get a partition manager

What I've done in the past to free up some space would be to relocate some folders to the larger drive, e.g. the Software Distribution folder under c:\windows\system32. Then, I recreate the folder in the original location and create a junction to the new location. Windows then thinks it's saving data into the original folder when in reality, it's being redirected to the new folder.

You can also move your "pagefile" to the second partition.
