Partiton Magic would resize your partition, but not with Windows Server 2003 installed. It checks the OS installed on the drive (even if you boot up on the disk) and if you are running a server os, it won't let you run it. Instead, they want you to run their server partition tool, called 'Server Magic'.

If I would ever need to resize a boot partition sitting on a server array, I wouldn't be using any third-party tool such as that. Maybe it's just me (and it probably is) but I wouldn't trust that sort of procedure to a program to do. I'd rather destroy what was created and start over cleanly.

I used Acronis Myself to resize a Win 2003 Partition, And as Tekmaven mentioned partition Magic will not install on a Win 2003 machine( I tried It). Just my 2 Cent.

I've called Symantec / Powerquest about this, they currently do not offer a product that re-partitions a drive in Windows 2k3 (2003). For a product being almost 2 years old, sounds to me like they are digging themselves a hole, or the support is to high for this type of product.\

yea acronis is good but the problem i'm facing is that when i install partition expert 2003 on my domain controller (win2003) there's an error about not able to run the software...i suspect its the policy, but i dun think by default it will have a policy on such issue...any comments?
