How to enlarge size of system drive?Hello all!
I meet a problem. I have to enlarge size of system drive from 4G to 8G to upgrade my server from 2000 to 2003. Do you know any possibility how to do it without reinstalling server and loosing any data? Thank you in advance. Serge I don't know, maybe try this; put a larger slave HDD in and use Norton Ghost
to do an 'Image to Image'. Them make the slave the master. -- Regards, Slarty Bartfast Line noise provided by Ameritech! Does anybody has their own experience?

Magic (for workstations) is one such and I have used it many times on a number of machines with NT and W2k. That compasny's version for servers is Server Magic, which is more expensive, and which I have not used but believe is just as reliable as Partition Magic. Google for the above, and for "resize partitions".

Change a 36G HDD to a 73G
HDD. It's extremely simple. Norton Ghost is very cheap, it's something you should have around anyway. -- Show quoteHide quoteRegards, Slarty Bartfast I am Bart of Borg.
