If just resize partition.
how about using Volume Manager from Powerquest?

http://www.powerquest.com/volumemanager/

but, if you need more hard disk space,
you need bu another hard sidk drive.
you can buy internal Hard disk drive or external Hard disk drive.
(USB or Network Attached strage-NAS)

At US$600 it would probably just be cheaper to get another drive and
clone/ghost the server onto it. In any case the OP should take
precautions and ensure that he has a complete restorable backup before
undertaking OS Volume resizing. It mostly goes well without problems
but sometimes the OS doesn't take to well to a resized drive and the OS
installation may become unusable. And be sure to defrag before
resizing. Personally I would go with another hard drive.

And how much does the clone/ghosting tool cost?

Symantec Ghost Corporate Edition about US$325.

here is ghost and windows server cloning info.
Cloning a Windows NT or Windows 2000 Server

http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT...&osv=&osv_lvl=

so this document dosen't mention edition of ghost (norton 2003 - personal -or corp. edition)
If personal has same function as corp. edition
cost will be
$25.00 to $40.00 with Hard disk drive purchase(or other hardware purchase - OEM).
according to Price Grraber

note: ghost cannot clone Terminal server.

Well there you go then, I wasn't sure that Ghost 2003 could ghost a
server. I figure Pegasus was trowing one of those curve ball trick
questions at me... At $40 if it can do the job it certainly is not
worth paying $600 for the Porwerquest Volume manager. Of course it all
depends on what kind of drive type/arrangement that the poster has to
work with. I wouldn't pay that $600 unless I had not other choice. On
a separate but related note which ever you buy, Ghost 2003, Ghost
Corporate or Powerquest, Symantec is going to end up with the money
anyway because they bought Powerquest a month or two ago. But I'd
rather give $40 to Symantec and put the other $560 on a new drive. And
that is generous enough to leave some for a few beers at the end of the
week...
