I never used it. Recently, some people have been recommending a free program called gparted. I haven't used that either.

Partition Magic won't work for Server anyway, so you'll need another program. Volume Manager used to be available, but that's been replaced by Veritas Storage Foundation for Windows. You may want to consider that.
I'm sure other people have suggestions for good alternatives as well.

Can't imagine a need to do that on a server.
"Best Practices", Event viewer, host file, perfmon, antivirus, anti-spyware, Live CD's, backups, are in my top 10

yes,Jennifer SUMN. agree with you. Partition Magic won't work for Server, that's why I have to turn to help for some other ones.
Anyone else who can give me a lot more information? I also find there is acronis, how about it?
