I have just installed Win2000 Advanced server and have relized that I may need to make the C:\ drive larger in size. I sized it to 4gb but may need to make it a little bigger. Is there a way to do this without reinstalling all of Win2000 again. Thank You

Hi, Probably not with windows 2000. Let me explain.
1. On a Windows 2000 server, the only type of drives which can be extended are 'Dynamic' drives.
2. Windows 2000 will not install on a dynamic drive, if it is the primary active partition
3. ITwill be possible if you use a 3rd party software program, something like Partition Magic. There will be some requirements to use, but this should give you the ability to increase the boot partition.

If you need further information, let me know. Thanks.
