Increase C: drive size

Here is the situation I have inherited,

200 Server standard with Perc 4e/Di Raid Controller. DELL Poweredge 2800

2- 136 GB SCSI ,
1- 73GB SCSI

C: drive was partioned to 10 GB - I know way tooooooo small!

E: drive partition: 126 GB - (101 GB free)

How can I increase the C: partition size partition?

Thanks,

Frank

10GB C: drive - PERFECT size.

Unless this is a terminal server.

Expanding a server's C: drive can be a dangerous thing... instead, you should be moving services OFF the C: drive and putting them on other drives. For 99% of servers that are not Application mode Terminal Servers, 10GB is JUST FINE.

Hi leew,

I have moved the pagefiles, Exchange database /logfiles to E:, removed non essential programs. The problem is the C: drive is down to 563 MB.

Hi guys,

The problem with C: is it is down to 563 MB now.

Yes, we understand that there is not much space left on C:\ The question is: What is taking up all the space? As leew and I have said, 10G really should be sufficient for your operating system and a few applications. So what is taking up all the space? You need to find out and tell us!
