Windows 2003 Server Upgrade

[Tom Rogers]

I am going to upgrade my servers to Windows 2003 SP1 server. The C; drive on
one of my servers only has 915 MB free space. Is this a problem? If it is,
it is a HUGE problem as I have a RAID 5 for my C: drive (4 GB partition) and
a RAID 5 for my D: drive (63 GB partition). In Windows Drive management,
they are two seperate drives, so I cannot move space from one drive to
another.

Please advise on ways around re-partitioning the RAID 5's and reformatting
the drives and reinstalling my Exchange server.

TIA,

-Tom

You'll need a minimum of 2 GB available hard drive free space.
