Windows 2003 extend Boot partition

[Pearlyshells]

I have a Windows 2003 server with a single hard drive. It has a utility partition, C (boot partition) and D data partition.

I need to expand my C drive. my D drive is 400Gb and only has 23gb used. I'd like to release about 10GB from my D drive then make it accessible to my C drive and extend my C drive

Is that possible? How?

You can use partitioning software to do this. You might take the opportunity to buy a new hard drive and clone the original over to the new and adjust partition sizes at that time. Why?? The risk of partitioning is always there - small but real. That way you would have your original HDD unmolested. Plus, you get a new hard drive in the server since it's probably getting old.

You realize that running a single hard drive in a server is not a good idea and not best practice. Single point of failure. I have a procedure if you want it to migrate (clone) to a RAID controller with RAID 1 (two new hard drives) without having to reload. Your rear end is hanging out with only one drive.

You can try Dell's EXTPART tool which is highly recommended for these situations but as always "buyer beware" as goombawaho stated you're in dangerous territory if you are relying on one disk for a production host.
