I just finished a project using partition wizard (partitionwizard.com) It worked as advertized but not without issues.
For instance, you cannot do this with Dynamic drives and you can only add drive space from adjacent partitions (partition C: cannot use partition E:'s space) Make sure you are well versed in drive recovery procedures BEFORE YOU START repartitioning. Make a copy of your boot.ini. it would not hurt a bit to build a bootable floppy (if you have a floppy drive on your server), but before you start repartitioning, make sure you can recover. -----Original Message----- From: tech-geeks-boun...@tech-geeks.org [mailto:tech-geeks-boun...@tech-geeks.org] On Behalf Of Russ Gowin Sent: Wednesday, October 13, 2010 2:02 PM To: 'Tech-Geeks Mailing List' Subject: [tech-geeks] Partitioning software I know this has been brought up several times before and I looked through the TG's archives and read some of the responses but I thought I'd ask anyway. The partition on my W2K3 server I use for teacher file storage is starting to get full, I have plenty of room on one of my other partitions so I want to resize. I have no unallocated space on the drives so I'm going to need to use partitioning software. I tried to find somewhere to purchase Partition Magic but couldn't find anything, so I'm looking at EASEUS Partition Master Server Edition (http://www.easeus.com) but I'm not sure how well it would work. Has anyone used this software to resize a server partition and if so what did you think of it? Also, does anyone have any recommendations for Windows based partitioning software that's priced in $MD?
