Dell PowerEdge 1400 server
Windows 2000 SBS
2 - 32GB SCSI Hard drive Raid 1
2 partitions (C and D)
We are running out of space on both partitions. If we purchase 2-72GB hard drives, what is the easiest way to install them?
1) Install both 72GB HD, install OS, then restore from a backup tape.
2) Is it possible to install 1 72GB HD, have it mirrored to the 32GB HD, take out the 32GB HD, and make the 72GB HD the primary HD? When establishing a mirror, can we specify the partition size or will it only partition the current size? If not, is using Partition Magic an ideal solution?
Thank you for your help.
