Increasing the boot partion size on SCSI RAID 5

OK – In over my head a bit here !!
Thanks in advance for looking at my question.

I have help a friend out, with a Dell SC1420 PowerEdge with 4 x SCSI drives in raid 5.

It has 2 partitions.

A 10 gig for the OS ( SBS server 2003 with Exchange etc ) and a 127 gig for user data, but lots of space available here.

The OS is badly out of date, not even SP1.

I need more space on the boot partition.

I have already moved the swap file to the D partition by the way.

It is imperative that the OS does not get screwed up. I have daily backups but don’t have the time option to do a re-install and restore from backups, ( plus I don’t trust any backups with Exchange ! )

I am fine with handling Ghost 2003 and Partition Magic etc but have never used either in a SCSI raid environment and don’t want to finish up with a dead OS.

Any thoughts folks ?
