Hi Everyone,<br />
<br />
At the moment I only have 1 partition, I want to split that in two so that I have a C and D drive. &nbsp;Is this possible?<br />
<br />

<div>
What is the size of your 4 HDDs? What is the current partition size of your Windows 2008 install?<br />
<br />
Can you attach the screenshot of your disk management?

<div>
Please ignore my first post.<br />
<br />
Yes, you can do that. You can shrink the partition. Go to Disk management and right click on partition. You will get the shrink option.

<div>
Yes this is possible, do what I said in my ealier post. &nbsp;Once this is shrunk just create your other partition with the available space.

Hello,<br />
<br />
I have 4 GB HDD that are 300GB and they are setup as a RAID10. &nbsp;I have attached a screenshot of my Disk Management. <a href="https://filedb.experts-exchange.com/incoming/2011/05_w21/460310/diskmanagement.jpg" target="_blank" title="Disk Management (70 KB)"><img alt="Disk Management" class="file-block lazyload" style="max-width: 549px;" data-src="https://filedb.experts-exchange.com/incoming/2011/05_w21/460310/diskmanagement.jpg" /></a>

<div>
Just right click on C partition and choose Shrink option. Enter the amount of space you want to shrink.<br />
<br />
Then create new partition with unallocated space.

<div>
Thank you for the help everyone, I tried splitting up the points as fairly as I could!<br />

Hello,<br />
<br />
I have a new server that has 4 HDDs that are configured as a RAID10. &nbsp;I installed Windows Server 2008 R2 on it, and everything is great, but now it looks like I may have to create a 300GB partition after the fact. &nbsp;Is this possible? &nbsp;I would really like to avoid reinstalling Windows and creating the partition from there. &nbsp;Is this anything that may be built into this new version of Windows Server 2008?

Hello,

I have a new server that has 4 HDDs that are configured as a RAID10.  I installed Windows Server 2008 R2 on it, and everything is great, but now it looks like I may have to create a 300GB partition after the fact.  Is this possible?  I would really like to avoid reinstalling Windows and creating the partition from there.  Is this anything that may be built into this new version of Windows Server 2008?

Windows Server 2008 R2 create a partition on RAID10

Servers are computing devices that are similar to desktop computers in that they have the same basic components, but are significantly different in size, configuration and purpose. Servers are usually accessed over a network, and many run unattended, without a computer monitor, input device, audio hardware or USB interfaces. Many servers do not have a graphical user interface (GUI), and are configured and managed remotely. Servers typically include hardware redundancy such as dual power supplies, RAID disk systems, and ECC memory, along with extensive pre-boot memory testing and verification. Critical components might be hot swappable, and to guard against overheating, servers might have more powerful fans or use water cooling.

Server Hardware

Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2, based on the Microsoft Vista codebase, is the last 32-bit server operating system released by Microsoft. It has a number of versions, including including Foundation, Standard, Enterprise, Datacenter, Web, HPC Server, Itanium and Storage; new features included server core installation and Hyper-V.

Windows Server 2008

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.
