We just upgraded our company server from NT 4.0 to Windows 2000 server, It is the only server in our company. Since the size limit of drive C in NT 4.0 is only 4GB. It is not enought in windows 2000 server. Now it only has 600MB space left. Anyone can tell me how can I resize the C drive without affect our system data? Please help!! Thanks in advance.

Your best bet is Partition Magic. Resizing partitions, especially boot partitions is a little troublesome.

Well since the original partiton is 4GB you could backup/archive any pertinent data, which you should do before upgrading anyway, and then us PM to resize the partition to what you want/need. Then do the upgrade to Win 2K Server.
