As mentioned, I think a 3rd party partitioning tool is your best bet. We have recently switched from Acronis to Paragon's Partition Manager 10.0 Server Edition. Basically the same as Acronis, but it has support for Server 2008 and x64, which Acronis lacked.

The partitions on this array are: 12GB C: (Windows 2003 Server) 57GB E: (Applications + Data) C: is now down to only 2GB of free space, so I would like to increase that partition. E: has 49GB free, so that partition is not a problem. What are my options for doing this (without losing data)? Could I just buy 2 new larger hard drives and replace the first one (let the array rebuild), then replace the second drive (let the array rebuild), then expand the array to utilize the unused space? Is this even possible without messing up Windows? Would it be cheaper/easier to move some of the free space on E: to C:? Is this possible without losing data?
