Comment:

I have a server running server 2003 that has the C: with 5GB and only 410MB Free. I also have a D: with 63GB and have 42GB Free.
Both C: and D: are on the same physical Hard disk.
Do you know what software I can use to re-partition the drive with out having to redo the server or lose any data?

Don't see why not. NTFS is NTFS...

You'll need Symantec Volume Manager for Server. Partition Magic is meant for client OS installs; not Server installs.

Interestingly, Symantec lists compatibility with NT/2000 Servers. Not sure if that includes 2003 though. You may want to contact them and confirm.

I contact Symantec and Volume Manager will not work on Server 2003.

Any other Suggestions...
