Extend system drive

[John]

Dear,

I have 36G disk and install win2000 server. I use 10G on
system drive ( c drive) and 26G to data drive (d drive).
Now i need to delete the data drive ( d drive). after
extend the system drive ( C drive). I am change the disk
from basic disk to dynamic disk but i still can't extend
the system drive. How can i extend the system drive ( c
drive) or i need re-install the O/S

Mnay Thanks
John

That's impossible to extend a volume on the converted drive natively, but
you can image and clone the partition.

Try Diskpart.exe

Not sure about the system partition though. I'd read up on it first!

Alas, that's not supported. Excerpt:
"...EXTEND DISK=<N> [SIZE=<N>] [NOERR]
The EXTEND command extends the current simple or extended volume onto the
specified disk.
If no SIZE is given, the volume will occupy all free space on the specified
disk. Extending a system or boot volume is not supported..."
