Increase NTFS Partition size.

Hi,
I installed windows server 2003 in HP server. During installation HP Cd made the partition and it doesnt allow me to set the partition more than 2GB so I set it as default and installed everything. Now the space in that partition is 300 MB only. Another partition have a size of 25GB. I need to increase the Partition size of C drive from 2 GB to another 4 GB. I need to do it without disturbing my programs and should not crash give me work to reload the OS everything once again. Both the partition is NTFS. please help me which tool is best to do it.

If you have $$$
Partition magic is the best choice.

There is also the Windows version of NTFS progs which is open source. You might want to give a try.

You might also want to give a try to paragon but I like Partition magic better.

The free version of BootIt NG gets my vote.

It's a boot floppy that will allow you to shrink your larger partition to create a chunk of free space which you can then add to your smaller partition to increase it's size.

I've gone off Symantec products. I have recently changed from Partition Magic to Acronis Disk Director. It's excellent for all disc management jobs.
Discount for a bundle with True Image imaging program.
Both these products have come out on top in recent reviews.
