I am faced with a Win2K server that just doesn't have enough space in the root partition (3GB just isn't enough any more!!) Unfortunately, this partition has been converted to a Win2K dynamic disk. Does anyone know of a disk re-partitioning utility that will handle dynamic disks? I have used Powerquest's Volume Manager in the past, but it supports only basic disks in Win2K, not dynamic. My alternative is to completely wipe, repartition, reformat, reinstall and restore the partitions, which I'm not looking forward to doing!

This may or may not be of assistance. I don't know of any tools that will do this for you, but if you had a spare hard drive (same manufacturer) you could clone the hard drive using ghost and configure the partitions to different sizes when you ghost. hope this helps G/L

Partition Manager looks good - but does anyone have any actual experience with it? The handling of dynamic disks is a new feature in the latest release, so I'd like to know if you have experience with it generally or in particular with that feature. Thanks!
