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!

It is possible but you need nondestructive partitioning software such as partition magic.  There are some free alternatives out there, like gparted.  gparted is actually a linux app, but it will boot a small linux distro on a CD and let you run the command, partition your drives, and boot back into windows.

I don't that this is supported, but you might be able to do it with a tool like Partition Magic.  Typically, Windows doesn't want to extend the C: drive.  Other than that, you could Ghost the drive to another drive and extend the partition during the operation.  I am pretty sure there isn't a way to do this while the drive is online in 2003.

If the disk is a dynamic disk then yes, personally I'd resize the partitions with BootITNG http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/index.htm

Disk Director can also do just about anything with disk paritions: http://www.acronis.com/homecomputing/products/diskdirector/index.html

Yes it is. Last time I did something like that I used paragon partition manager 8.5 server edition and it worked very smooth.

I could not find a partition manager to work on a 2003 box. But like I said paragon worked great and is easy to use but you have to use server edition on 2003.

be very careful with Partition magic - most versions do not work on a server

Just on another note, While repartitioning software should work fine, The question really becomes, are Drives C and D on the same physical Hard drive, or the same Logical RAID drive? If the Windows Operating System see's the partitions as on separate drives, then repartitioning won't work. If this is the case, you could use a program similar to Ghost and image the server, upgrade the hard drive, and push the image back to the new hard drive. If your talking about a RAID setup, after Ghosting the machine, instead of upgrading Hard drives, you your redo your RAID setup to allow more Hard drive space on your OS RAID.

for example, on my servers I usually run 2 RAID's, I set 2 Hard drives for a mirror, install OS on it, and 6 drives in a RAID5 setup for my data. If I need more room on on my OS drive, what I can do is, after imaging my server, delete my raids, put 3 drives in a RAID5 setup for my OS, and 5 drives in a RAID5 setup for my Data.
