Good morning,
I am running a PowerEdge 2500 Raid 5 on a back plane. 67
GIG drives. Of course the root partician was 8 GIG during
the install. Is there a method of enlarging the drive
space on the root partician? I have plenty of space on
the other partician.

I really need help on this matter.
Michael

There are no approved/supported methods for enlarging the root partition.

Have you moved the Exchange Store to larger partition?
Have you moved the pagefile??

All documents (User folders, etc) moved to the other partition??

Thank you first of all. My exchange information has been
moved but my pagefile has not. I have just read up on it
and the article suggested that we not place the partition
on a RAID drive. That is all I have on this machine. My
Pagefile size is 1536-3072.
Can I just create a new page file on the other partition,
then change the current partition to 0 (zero)?

sure can.
and rather than setting a range. simple set a fixed amount
2X the amount of physical ram in the server

You will get a warning when you set it to zero on the boot partition that it
cannot create a dump file. Just so you are aware.
