He dropped the swap file from 512 to 256 on C: and raised the swapfile on D & E. that got him up to 380m free on C: John W.

That is probably taking a LARGE chunk of space up. Drew -----Original Message----- From: John Colby [mailto:jcolby at colbyconsulting.com] Sent: Thursday, June 12, 2003 7:47 AM To: AccessD Subject: [AccessD] Replacing the C: drive on a server My client as a Windows NT 4x Server with a C: drive down to 80mb free. It had more until yesterday, when he tried to install Access and Outlook. The installs failed due to lack of space and wouldn't even uninstall. He has just plain deleted the directories to get back up to 80mb. Obviously this is bad - Windows doesn't like the C: drive to have no room. My question is, is it possible to go get a much larger hard disk, and then somehow transfer the entire contents of the C: drive onto the new drive such that it can be dropped in as the C: drive and yet still be larger and have the extra room available? My understanding of the imaging programs (Ghost and the like) is that they create an exact image of the original which would simply create a small partition on the larger drive. The next issue is that the drive is mirrored. Is there any way to just add two disks and "expand" the existing partition to span the new disks? John W.
