Reconfiguring disk space on server
For the second time, I have a new Dell server that I have installed at customers. I failed to tell Dell not to put a partition in for the OS, so they put the tiny little 12gb partition in with the rest for the data. Between the pagefile.sys being a little over 2gb and all the other programs, I have 300mb left. Is there any way to change this besides scratching everything and starting over. That is not an option. It is a new install, so I am going to remove Exchange server and re-install on the big drive, because I have no choice. Any ideas?
Does partition magic work with servers, I think not.
If its a new build why not just reinstall

The customer has been live on the server for a few weeks. I really don't want to go thru a reinstall at this point.
