[NTSysADM] OT Free partition software

I have a Server 2003 that will not get decommissioned anytime soon. Really need to extend the C: (OS) drive (Dynamic no pagefile). It is a VM now but the extra space I gave the C: drive is just sitting there mocking me. How can I get this drive to extend? Hopefully without a shutdown or reboot?

If it is a VM then rum the VMWare Converter on it and change the disk size to what you want it to be. V2V conversions are much safer and easier than other tools as long as you have disk space on the SAN. I see this a lot when we have over provisioned servers and want to shrink the disks
