I am not sure how to do the above. .I bought Partiution MAgic put can not even be installed because it works only on regular XP.  WHat to do about increasing the partition.

My server has one operating sytem partition which is now too short. I have the remaining disk partition in about 6 diferent partitions. I Deleter one next to the operating system.

WHat shall I do now? How I use the BE 11d to do this?  DO I need aditional software.. Partexp does not work on System partition.

The only way to use backupExecto do this would be to take a full sytem backup of that partition, delete and recreate the partition(s) using the RAID utility and do a disaster recovery following the Admin Guide

 

Read through the RAID controller manual and see if it will let you manipulate/resize partitions like partition magic in standalone mode (no OS booted)  (A backup would not be a bad idea in any case tho :smileywink:
