It sure will, but it won't really solve your problem... you will still have a small C drive, a 3 gb D drive, and a whole bunch of unallocated space left over. If you use something like Ghost you should be able to resize the partitions on the destination drive, which would be better. But if this is a production server, the first thing you should do when you are done is uncompress that C Drive. Talk about a bottleneck...

We've had some folks into our shop looking at one of the servers have on our domain. This is our ISA server. The previous system administrator (who left almost 2 years ago) had a habit, whenever any new machine came in (server or otherwise), to immediately reformat the hard drive and partition it up into a small C drive (1 GB) and whatever else was left to the D drive. Given the fact that this server has a 4 GB hard drive (big for its day) we no longer have room on it to try and put things like Partition Magic onto it and reallocate the partitions. Additionally, on this particular server, the C drive is compressed but the D drive is not. So, this outside fellow suggested doing an image of the whole hard drive and then putting that onto a larger hard drive, to replace the one in the server. My question is, will this work? ________________________________________ Rod ******************************************************** This Weeks Sponsor StressedPuppy.com Games Feeling stressed out?
