I would try Disk Management, I have used it alot to splice a HDD etc.
Make sure you backup your stuff. |

Partition Magic will not run on a Windows Server environment. I think its either because they do not support the Server OS's or they sell a seperate (possibly more expensive) program for the Server OS's.
I have looked around for some time but have not found any decent free ones that will work on a W2K3 server. You would more likely need to buy one. |

to create a new partition you need to have free disk space. I'm not talking space on a partition that's not being used but free space that hasn't been assigned to any partition. |

I'd advise that you do a full system backup, re-install the OS creating the partitions as you want them then restore your data and settings from the backup. |

personally, I'd agree with the hardware RAID comment already mentioned here. |

I will not do this at all. This is not a good way i think to have new partition and i dont know why there is no software (like Partition Magic) to do this job in windows server OS |

Well, i have 2 servers that have two HD and may be the RAID will work for this i think, right |

i hate to break it to you, mate but this is a good way to change the underlieing disk setup of a server. I've had third party partitioning software fail me in a similar situation and since then I've found it a lot quicker and easier to run a full backup, reinstall / change the partitions and then restore it all back. |

sorry, but i'm not sure i follow you here. you've got 2 servers, that each have 2 harddirves installed that may be in some kind of RAID but you want to know if you can change the partitions on them? is that right? |

You know, i cant tell my manager that i want to stop the producation servers to make a new partition, thats the case |

I have 3 servers with one HD and i want to create new partition in two of them and i have 2 servers with 2 HD (hp DL360G4 model) and i want also to create a new partition on them but i see the HD as one partition.
Thanks, |
