Guest paramr@community.nospam Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 Hi all, Here is my current configuration: Disk 0 - Basic 33.35GB - C:\ System Partition Disk 1 - Basic E:\ - File Shares - 150GB partition, 7GB free F:\ - Data - 200GB partition, 16GB free 57GB - unallocated I would like to extend E: using the 57GB unallocated space. How would I do this? If preferable I do not want to convert the disks into dynamic disks. TIA!

Guest paramr@community.nospam Posted September 9, 2008 Posted September 9, 2008 Re: disk space issue There is no way to do this without buying a 3rd party software? What about the diskpart utility?

Guest Pegasus \(MVP\) Posted September 9, 2008 Posted September 9, 2008 Re: disk space issue You cannot extend an existing partition with diskpart.exe. If you don't want to spend any money then you need to do it the long way round: Copy all data from drives E: and F: to some other disk, then repartition disk 1, then copy the data back again. Make sure to use a "copy" command that preserves ACSLs. <paramr@community.nospam> wrote in message news:uyS7CkoEJHA.612@TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl... > There is no way to do this without buying a 3rd party software?
