Partitioning a "live" harddrive.

From: super soaker on 10 Aug 2010 07:23 From what I have heard so far, Microsoft do not support spanning the system partition across multiple disks. You could try somthing like copying or moving all data off of the second partition, deleting that partition extending C into the free space, then recreating the second partition and copying the data back. Of course you may need to disable services during this move/copy but I am not sure there is any other way around it. -- super soaker ------------------------------------------------------------------------ super soaker's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/16788.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/small-business-server/1357058.htm http://forums.techarena.in
From: happyhacker on 10 Aug 2010 07:45 Not sure I understand that. I want to shrink the C to obtain two other partitions of equal size. Reading the figures above I only see about 500Gbyte available after shrinking. I am trying to do this wthout reinstalling. Is that the quickest way. PS note I said that this is a fresh install i.e. there is no data except what the install may have created. -- happyhacker ------------------------------------------------------------------------ happyhacker's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/188993.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/small-business-server/1357058.htm http://forums.techarena.in
