At this point I stuck the original drives back in and just booted the servers back up. Improve this question. Add a comment. Active Oldest Votes. Improve this answer. KCotreau KCotreau 3, 3 3 gold badges 18 18 silver badges 24 24 bronze badges.

To shrink it, you just drag the slider to the left side. The above shows how to extend Server partition via GParted. But sometimes, you might find you cannot drag the slider to the right side to extend the aim partition as shown in the picture, no free space in the preceding or following side can be added into the partition. Then the partition you want to extend and the free space are adjacent. Now repeat the above steps to expand the partition. The GParted makes up the limitations of Windows Server Disk Management and allows users to resize partition, but it requires too many preparations like creating a bootable media that contains GParted Live.
Besides, when it comes to enlarging one partition in Server via GParted, there must be an adjacent free space. It does not need to boot from some bootable media as long as you can boot into Windows Server successfully. Both methods can expand Server partition by 3 steps. Choose one method based on your disk partition layout. Now, you should get a comprehensive understanding of GParted in Windows Server , as well as how to resize Windows Server partition using GParted.
The necessity of GParted in Windows Server GParted Gnome Partition Editor is a free partition editor for graphically managing your disk partitions, allowing you to create, delete, move, resize, clone partition and more. I looked at Acronis and the screenshots of their Linux resize screen look similar to GParted resize dialog, so I'm not sure if it work. Show 8 more comments.

Looking at the screenshot, here is what I would do: Try to resize the C drive partition in Windows assuming you have a version that has the Disk Management utility to do so, i.
This may potentially eliminate any bizarre issue with GParted. Resize the extended partition to the desired size Image the extended partition Delete the extended partition Resize Drive D to the desired GB Restore the imaged partition That should hopefully work, assuming that the configuration files in Drive D knows where to find drive C.

It's Windows Server , and Microsoft's diskpart utility refuses to operate on boot or system partitions. Have you tried resizing the partitions using diskpart in a recovery console? Command line interfaces are not very nice, but it might just work. As it turns out, Server is different with partitioning than standard non-server. Apparently, people have used 3rd party utilities to perform the re-size.
Perhaps GParted just can't do it. Add a comment. Sign up or log in Sign up using Google. Sign up using Facebook. Sign up using Email and Password. Post as a guest Name. Email Required, but never shown. The Overflow Blog.
