Change system partition under Windows 20

We are having a problem under Windows 2000 Server SP2 where C:\ is the boot partition and D:\ is the system partition. This would be fine except we need to resize the D:\ partition and are not allowed to do so because it is a system partition. Is there a way to change the system partition from D:\ to C:\ . Note that the disk is a Windows 2000 dynamic disk, and as such I can find no options to change the 'active' partition.

I've heard that Partition Magic allow you to resize partitions without loosing data, other than that, changing drive letter is impossible as registry already record drive letters for dll and executables. Its probably best to reinstall on a different HDD (so if any thing goes wrong you can go back to the old one).

I have the same config. Bootdrive = c: Sysdrive = E: but I can change this with partition magic 6. I have done so already.
