The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

How to increase C drive partition on windows 2003 server?

Asked by Binatech in Windows 2003 Server, Disk Partition Tools

Tags: partition

Guys,

My C drive partition has 10GB space and running out of space. I have optimized cleaning up the drive but still not enough, 300MB left. My plan is to add additional HDD and create new array, I can't add to existing array as it is configured to RAID 1 and partition to 2 drives. I have 3 HDDs (spare unit) to add and configured to RAID 5. I want your advise of what would be the best approach to extend the C drive partition. Here are some options in my mind:

Option 1
- Would it be possible to user diskpart to shrink the D drive (plenty of space) to create unallocated space and extend the c drive? Can you provide a steps or article to read?

Option 2
- Create a new array (3 new HDD) and configured as RAID 5. Move the D drive to new array and extend the C drive partition. Can this be done using deskpart?

Option 3
- Using third party partition software. This is the least option I would go due to financial constraint but I if ever what would be the best software to use?

Thanks in advance for the advise.
