I recently added 2 hard drives to a server for the purpose of setting up a raid 1. &nbsp;On these drives i installed windows server 2003 and created a new boot partition. &nbsp;However on one of the old drives the system partition still remains. &nbsp;I want to know how to change the system partition so that it resides on the same drive(s) as the boot partition. &nbsp;When I go to do the standard &quot;mark partition as active&quot; it is not there. &nbsp;I just get the following options: &nbsp;open, explore, extend volume, add mirror, change drive letter and paths, (grayed) format, (grayed) reactivate volume, (grayed) delete volume, properties, and help.<br />

Changing System Partition

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
