Current OS: Windows Server 2003 Standard. I need to expand C:\ of the Windows Server 2003 as there are more and more updates. I plan to purchase 2 HDD of the same size of the original 3 HDD, but how can I merge it to the C:\ partition? Partition Magic is out of the question as it does not support Server OS. Anyone have good solutions for me? Thank you!
