Increasing the partition size of a system drive

by ndveitch . Updated 14 years, 10 months ago

Hi There,

I need to ask a question on increasing the size of my system drive (C:) of my one NAS server. I have 2 partitions on my Iomega 400, 9Gb for C and 672 for D. I have been asked to increase the size of C as with all the updates and Windows related files, my C drive is now out of space.

My boss has asked me to increase the size and if I’m correct it can be done using partitioning tools it just that I have never done this before and thought I would ask first if there is an easy to use partition tool that I can use to increase the partition size.

My backups are all working and I am going to do a system recovery image before I do this obviously, it’s just that never having increased a partition without formatting before, I just want to make sure.

Besides the backups, is there anything else I must take in to consideration before I increase the size?
