Guest Will Sellers Posted December 7, 2007 Posted December 7, 2007 I just setup a partition on a single drive. I used 30 gig for the server OS. What do I need to do to partition the rest of the drive?

If you mean you want to re-partition the existing hdd, you will need a 3rd party software - Partition magic to do the work. if you want to partition another hdd (secondary hdd), then you can do it in Windows 2003 Setup or Computer Management (correct me if I'm wrong - it's been long since I've done this - right click My Computer -> Manage). -- Jabez Gan Microsoft MVP: Windows Server - File Storage "Will Sellers" <willsellers@verizon.net> wrote in message news:mK26j.8265$gs.3755@trndny08... >I just setup a partition on a single drive.
