I have a Windows 2003 Standard server with a single hard drive partitioned into a small C: (boot system) and a large E: (data). I need more space on the C: partition, but all of the utilities and third party software I've seen so far won't allow for a boot or system drive to be repartitioned under the Windows 2003 operating system, though I can modify my simple E: partition if I'm reading the documentation correctly.

I have backed up this server to tape and can also get a Ghost image of it before I start messing with the partitions.

A friend of a friend suggested knoppix might be able to solve my problem, but I haven't been able to find any definitive answers in the forum and am not even certain this is the correct place to put my question. Can I use knoppix (presumably the qtparted command/utility) to shrink my E: partition and expand my C: partition in Windows 2003?

Thank you very much for your time and expertise. I appreciate any help or insight you might be able to offer.
