sever. server has one drive c partition is a 4 gig fat
partition and the d partion is a 76 gig ntfs
partition.this server was upgraded fron nt 4.0 which
explains the 4 gig partition.trying to get out of doing a
complete reload. just would like to see a little more room
on that boot partition.

thanks in advance

Hello,

Not with Windows Server 2003 tools. But third-party tools such as Volume
Manager (also known as Server Magic) can do this.

Scott;
Not with windows native tools;
3rd party tools are required:

What about the Disk Management tool? That permits
resizing etc. You find it under Other Tools/Tools/Tools
by Category/Disk and Data Management from the Other Tools
link on the Manage My Server Screen.

Colin;
Disk Management will not work in this case.
