How to extend my servers drive c:\ volume?

[sim]

I have a clone P4 server which runs on Win2K Advance
Server. When I try to right click My Computer-->Manage--

Disk Management, beside Disk 0 I have a drive (C which

has only about 10GB. I have also a unallocated space for
about 20GB which is shown beside (C. I want to expand
the drive (C volume to cover now the unallocated space
which is previously drive (D but we decided to delete
the (D partition and re-distribute the space to drive
(C. How would I going to expand the (C 10GB volume to
merge the unallocated space of 20GB? All in all if I can
merge it all I will have 30GB for HDD space in drive (C
In the Computer Management Window I dont have any option
to Extend drive (C partition. Whenever I right click
drive (C I can only have a choice of Open,
Explore,Change Drive Letter, Properties and help. How
could I do volume extention? Thanks a lot in advance!

It appears your disk is probably basic and not 'dynamic'
which can be seen in 'Disk Management'. Dynamic disks can
be 'extended' however basic disks cannot. And
another 'gotcha' is that any partition that is created on
a basic disk and then upgaded to dynamic disks cannot be
extended either. Only newly created partitions on a
dynamic disk.
I havent used it in a while but perhaps a 3rd party
utility such as 'Partition Magic' might be helpful in your
situation.
