I did this here with ghost and a big hard drive.
 
first I ghosted the images to a file then removed the partitions, rebuilt them 
with the sizes I needed them and ghosted the images back.

Subject: [windows2000] Resizing partitions


Afternoon everyone,
 
I've got problem in the foreseeable future, which I'm trying to plan for to 
head off.
 
The company I now work for has a Windows 2000 Server (sp3).  Its running on a 
PC with 2 34GB SCSI drives, which are mirrored.  The drive(s) is set up as a 
dynamic disk, with 2 volumes.  One has the OS, the other is all data.  
Reasonable way to set things up.  Only problem is that whoever created the 
volumes didn't leave enough room for growth on the OS volume.  My system volume 
has a 1.95 GB partition with 452MB free.  The other volume has 17GB free.
 
Naturally I'm looking for a safe way to resize both partitions - giving more 
room to the system partition.  Any good recommendations?  Problems people have 
encountered in the past with this?
