Extend system partition server 2003

[chazzy2501]

Goto Computer Management - Disk Management

Convert your C: drive to dynamic by right clicking on it and pressing convert to dynamic.

This will require a reset and would prevent any non windows os from booting from it. (that's not a problem your likley to have unless you dual boot a linux os)

RESET SERVER:

Goto Computer Management - Disk Management

Your C: drive is now dynamic, you can simply extend the volume (it's now a volume not a partition) using disk management by right clicking on it and pressing extend volume.

This is all built into Windows and was made for this stuff.

Did you do it yourself before? In fact, even if you convert the disk to dynamic, you cannot extend the system volume, too, it will cause problem worse, as no software can resize dynamic disks. Server 2008 could shrink and extend, but 2000 and 2003 cannot. So to backup and resize the server is better, see this tutorial http://www.hdd-tool.com/partition-ma...c-software.htm
