I have a server where I had performed a late night install of the OS and was pretty much ready to pass out. In the brain lag I did not notice where I had installed the OS. Once The server was done I have only terminaled into it to work on it so I have never noticed that there was two versions of Windows 2003 running on it. The version that has been configured the way I want it to be is on my D: PARTITION, I do not need the C: PArtition install, is there anyway to migrate the D: Install over the C:install.


D:Install has my domain on it, the configurations, the policys, the logon scripts everything for 100 + Employees. I have 4 other servers connected to this right now running process that if I do not install it exactly will fail, ex. Exchange, Sophos PureMessage and Antivrus, SMS, SQL you name it.

You can install the OS on any drive letter you wish, when it boots, I take it it is booting from the D drive? If it does this, & nothing is out of the ordinary, then, once you have a backup, think about deleting the other partition. (This would also help on some security, as most OS drives are installed on C, & if that dont exist, helps for the casual hacker.)
