Re-partioning W2K Server Primary Drive

I have an IBM eSeries x240 server running W2K. Upon
installing the OS, IBM recommended partioning my primary
drive for the OS for 4GB. Needless to say, I'm almost
out of space.

What are my options, since I'm running RAID 5 and have a
total of 6 SCSI drives, each drive around 17 GB. Can I
re-partition my primary drive using Partition Magic? Has
anyone performed this successfully? I want to keep what
I have on my drive, but need to increase the size before
it has an impact on my server's performance.

thx in advance!!

Have you had a look what's on your system drive? Are you
keeping some data there? Use the tools below to get an
idea of what's where.

You would need Volume Manager from Powerquest in order to adjust your
partition sizes on a server, Partition Magic does not handle server
versions.
