expanding C drive
I have a server on VMware that I set up with the C drive too small.it is currently set up with Windows 2003 which I know I cannot expand the C drive with that OS.can it be done with Windows 2008 R2? I have seen some articles which say that it has to be done with a third-party application. Which third-party applications would do the best job and also be free? Or put another way, not as a loaded question, can the C drive the expanded while upgrading the server OS?

It will, you will just need to use Disk Management as stated above. Open Server Manager > Configuration > Storage > Disk Management > Right Click the C drive (if you truly have space to extend to and it is right after the C drive it will be black and say unallocated) and select Extend > the rest is simple :)
