Hi,
Do any body has experience with a Partition Hardrive software for a Server?
Acronin is very expensive and for a single server seems too much for one time.

Why pay for acronis when the bundled ones in Server 2008 (vista/2008 introduced the ability to resize NTFS partitions, which was previously one of the few reasons anyone payed for partition magic etc..... - or if you dont have that, a linux livecd with Gparted) can do prettymuch the same things

thank you for your advice I will try the Linux and will post a result. I do not have Server 2008
mine is 2003.
Will it be better to upgrade to server 2008 than by the partition software?

No, obviously, because that would cost more and be a major job...

Check out the page of screenshots and you can get an idea of it.

partition magic alternative is another choice, windows application
