Hello,
I have a Windows 2003 server machine with a small main partition and
huge secondary partitions. I need to resize the main partition to make
it larger. I tried to do this using Partition Magic and about 10 other
repartition programs but none of them can handle the resize due to the
fact that the partition is "dynamic" type!!
Anyway I have a plan to "resize" my main boot partition:
1) Buy a second hard disk.
2) "Clone" main partition of old disk onto new hard disk but with a
much larger partition size.
3) Boot off new disk with old disk still in system as second hard disk.
Are there any problems with this plan? If I clone the boot partition
over to a new disc and then boot off that new disc, Windows won't go
crazy on me right??
This is an important production server and I can't have anything go
wrong so I'm just trying to cover all avenues.
Thanks for the help.
