Unfortunately the C drive on my server has almost run our of space.

I have shrunk the D drive by 71GB, however the Windows 2008 server disk management software does not permit me to extend the C volume.

Can anyone recommend an alternative (GUI) solution?

Best regards

 
Acronis, Paragon, ect allow partition manipulation creating contiguous space. Windows will not allow it due to contiguous space occupied by the D: partition. Some third party partition software will. Do a backup first, never had an issue but there is always a first time.
