    Red face Resizing NTFS Primary Partition

    Have an NT Server whos primary partiton is quickly running out of space (just 130 MB remaining). It has s 2 gig primary partition and an 18 gig second partition. I've already deleted temp files, and unused applications.

    Tried Partition Magic 5.0-it doesn't work w/NT Server. Server Magic is too costly for me, so please don't mention that either

    Are there any other 'cost effective" alternatives out there for a guy w/shallow pockets?

    Thanks for any help in advance!

    Just a stab but I've done similar things...Ghost(actually I use Drive Copy more often) the 2Gb partition to another drive, then Ghost back overwriting the old partitions.

    Thanks fellow techies for all your help & suggestions!

    Sowulo: you are the man! Used GHOST 5x to copy the primary partition as stated to another drive; reformatted the drive using Win2000 server setup disks with a new primary partition of 6 gigs, then GHOSTed the copy back to the new partion! You taught me something new and useful-T-H-A-N-K Y-O-U-!
