"I am running Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard Edition SP2 and only have 2.74GB of hard drive space left on a 11.9 GB hard drive. My D:\ drive has 37.5GB of free space left on a 124GB Hard drive. I would like to know what software is recommended to repartition drive size or another way to repartition drive."
