I have iis running on win2k server and free space of about
560 mb on NTFS partition. Are there any volume
manipulation utilities available from Microsoft so that I
might increase the primary partitions size without having
to reformat, etc...? I have moved the swap file.
Thanks

no
converting the disk to dynamic would allow to expand the partition, but not
the system partition

You can user Partion Magic, it works well just do a disk check with partion
magic first after the change/resize, reboot the server, windows 2000 will
inform you that the disk has changed - this is ok- and will ask you to
reboot again.
works everytime.
