Question : Hard Drive Space from G: drive to D: drive?
|
|
On our server we have four partitioned drives. Right now our D: drive is running pretty close to full, but that is the drive we use as our "Storage" drive. Our G drive has hardly been touched, and still has 193 gigs free. What I would like to do, (If Possible) is move 100 gigs over to my D drive without formatting anything. I think I read this was possible, just a little difficult. Is that true? If so, does someone have a good solution? I have never moved space before so I guess this would make me a beginner on the subject?
If it makes a difference we have 6 146 SAS hard drives in our server, and obviously they are in some sort of array.

i suggest using Bootit-ng : www.terabyteunlimited.com/ for what you want to do, it is free; download it, and boot from floppy or CD -do NOT install it on the disk, hit cancel and select partition work Now you must look at your setup; imagine it is like : |--D--|--E--|-----F-----| End of disk space if you want to increase the D or E size, you must free space next to it, so, to resize D: do as follows : select F partition, and resize it (lets say it is 150 Gb, and D: = 20 GB) to 100 GB (freing up 50 GB) then slide it, to wards the end of disk, so you have now : |--D--|--E--|--free---|---F---| End of disk space now do the same for E: to get : |--D--|--free--|--E--|---F---| End of disk space now resize D
***bootit-ng works on all OS'es, never has let me down !
