How to extend the system partition of a Windows Server 2003 VM
The video shows how to use the ExtPart utility provided by Dell to extend the system partition of a Windows Server 2003 VM.
ExtPart can be downloaded from http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/04/DriverDetails/DriverFileFormats?c=us&l=en&s=bsd&cs=04&DriverId=R64398

Excelente video, me ayudo a extender el disco C de mi windows server 2003. Gracias
Thanks… that's great!!!
Thanks for the video. I thought I would have to take the machine offline 🙂
Thank you! This was exactly what I needed to find!
For anyone else looking, the link in the description did not work for me. The link I had to use to find the ExtPart utility he mentions is here: https://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/04/drivers/driversdetails?driverid=r64398
супер, спасибо!!!
thank you!!
Great presentation!
When you increase the system partition of the virtual machine, What should I do in order the change to take effect on an Ubuntu server. Or this does it automatically. Any ideas on how that works? Your help will be appreciated!
Muy bueno baje la ultima version y me funciono perfecto… en window server 2003 , de vmware workstation 12 pro
Very good. Thanks!!! 🙂
this only supports for 2003 32bit OS, what about 2003 64bit ?
Also, if you run it and gives you a 'unable to find disk c' or similar error (possibly even an error about the volume being locked), you'll have to run extpart after starting the vm in safe mode (should disable any lock on the drive that prevents it from being modified).
For those that that it doesn't work for, I managed to do something similar with an older free version of aoemi (sp?) partition manager (allows you to do changes in a gui, restarts, resizes, restarts again and you're done). Not sure if it's still free or available but that could be another option.
Awesome video. This was driving me nuts trying to figure this out. This worked perfectly. Thank you.
do we have to install this extpart.exe tool in C drive
Muy bueno me funciono gracias.
Very well done! Direct and to the point.
Note, this only works for 32-bit OS installs
Thanks! I knew it could be done, but this was simple and concise.
This won't work for a drive with more than one partion though.
nice
