I have a server that is set up with 2 partitions (C: and E:). There is about 18Gb that is not allocated on the drives. How can I change the partition size of C:? I am hoping there is a utility I can use for this to avoid rebuilding the server. I have plenty of drive space I could take from E: or the unallocated space.

Partition Magic from Symantec. There are others as well, but that is the one I am familiar with. I have not tried installing it on my 2003 box, but you should be able to create a set of boot floppies that allow you to run the program without booting into windows.
