I have a migration in progress that is not very far in the process. The old
2003 server has been prepped, the answer file created and the new server
installed (and named, and joined to the network of course as part of the
unattended install)

however for some reason the partitions on the destination server got all
boogered up. I have a 300 GB C drive, a 2 GB D drive and a 100 GB E drive.
Windows is installed to the C of course.

However that is not idea for a lot of reasons and we want to redo the server
with properly sized partitions. Can I re-run the install on the destination
server without have to restore the source server back to pre-prep state? I
would use the same answer file so the destination server will be built with
the same name/IP.

Thanks
Tony

Sorry. I am using the Microsoft Migration Guide, not a Swing or any other
method.

Thanks

You are far enough into the process that a source restore will be necessary.

Or get hold of Acronis / Partition magic type product and just resize
the partitions.
