Expanding Partition Size in NT Server

You must use disk manager (Administative Tools) to do this for you.

Delete or create partitions as necessary and choose NTFS as your file system (this is because FAT partitioning has a maximum of 4GB only, while NTFS will not restrict you).

Just be careful not to delete your main partition.

Good luck.

Hi
data partition and unallocated space
1. Install SP4 or above.
3. Run volumemanager From Powerquest and resize the Partition to whatever size you desire.

Warning, answer 1 is incorrect. It is NTFS that is limited to 4GB not FAT.
We increased the partition on one of our servers by using Partition Magic 5.
Hope this helps.

Purchase Partition Magic (I have used this product) as it will do all of the following to allow you to use all of the un-allocated space on your data drive.

N.B. Back up your data before doing this!!

1. Convert your existing data partition to NTFS
2. Expand the data partition to the full extent of your un-allocated space
3. Click on apply changes
4. When the tasks have completed, reboot your server

The other way is.

1. Backup your data and verify that it is ok
2. Delete your data partition
3. Recreate NTFS partition using all available space.
4. Restore your data.
5. Recreatwe any shares and permissions etc..
