Unfortunately, James, some apps actually do care what partition they are on. Our whole hospital software program has to be on the C partition. Why, I don't know, it just does. But, then again, it was just earlier this year that they said you could run it on W2K.

Is there a real reason why not to put them on the other partition? Server Magic is the tool to user for resizing partitions on servers (also made by Powerquest). But just installing an app doesn't seem like a valid reason to go out and buy it. The app doesn't care what partition it is on . . .

I'm sorry , tried this message on the NT list but seems I'm out or it is not working. ----- Hello all. I was wondering if you can give me your comments please. I have an NT 4.0 SP 6a machine running perfectly. That machine is used mainly for developing some web applications using Visual Studio and some other third party tools. When installed, the C: partition was created with a value of 4 GB. Perfect for all the use that will have. It has installed some of those tools that let you install only in one machine and that changing to another is a real pain because the company ask you LOT of details of why you are moving to another one, lot of Admin paperwork until they are sure you are not installing another copy without paying (don't ask why, we need that tool for a special project and is protected being activated only via the web and checking from time to time using internet to see if it is a valid and active copy). Anyway, now we need to install some other tools (we'd like to have them on C: also) but we do not have enough space left. That disk is a disk of 20 GB and the D partition has the other 16GB. I need only from 2 to 4 GB more. What's, based on experience, the best way to resize the C partition without loosing information and without reinstalling everything? I have some other servers working with 6GB and 8GB (service pack 6a allows that) on C without problems but those were installed that way since the beginning. A friend told me to try with some software that manage partitions (don't remember the name). Another told me that is as simple as just erase partition D, resize C with the disk tools and that's all (I haven't tried yet). Another told me to use Norton Ghost with another disk. What would be your advice? Thanks in advance.
