Combining a split partition on a dynamic disk	by altordwm	2009-03-23 13:41:12
Windows 2003 Server Data drive is a dynamic disk which contained several partitions that were expanded over time as needed. I've deleted several of these partitions now, but I've still got a couple. This is what is looks like in the disk manager: D: \| E: \| Unallocated \| E: \| Unallocated \| L: \| Unallocated 44GB \| 44GB \| 123GB \| 20GB \| 40GB \| 100GB \| 321GB Now, what I'd like to do is combine the two E: partitions into one and possibly move the L: partition up towards the front so that all my unallocated space is in one or two spots. e.g.: D: \| E: \| L: \| Unallocated 44GB \| 64GB \| 100GB \| 484GB or if that's not possible: D: \| E: \| Unallocated \| L: \| Unallocated 44GB \| 64GB \| 163GB \| 100GB \| 321GB Can this be done using normal MS tools for dynamic disks?
