Extend Win2K server boot partition

Hi,

With SCSI Hard drive Installed use utility like Array Manager you can extend the size of a partition only on Dynamic Disks and only if there is available space right after the end of the partition and not in another part of the disk. You can define the size of the extension; don't worry it won't take all the available space!

You can not use PartionMagic 8.0, 7.0 or 6.0 to resize your partitions because there is a limitation for the server versions of Windows into their software! This is because they have another product called Volume Manager, which is more expensive ...?

But, you can use PartitionMagic 5.0 or 4.0 on a bootdisk to do the same job and it works just fine! Start by resizing your Data Partition in order to free space upon extending your System Partition.

Good Luck & Best regards

If the hard disk is baic, you can extend the boot partition easily, but if the disk is dynamic, neither disk management or third-party can extend the system boot volume. The only method is copy the dynamic volume to a basic disk and resize, it is the safest way. someone has the same requirement, check http://www.partition-tool.com/resource/resize-dynamic-disk.htm
