Hi Everybody!
We have here a NT server in our small office (about 10 users).
Win NT 4.0, SP5, HDD is 6 GB, PIII. There are two partitions –
FAT & NTFS on the disk. Drive C is FAT (some 16 -bit programs
need it).Drive D is NTFS (users files), Everything was fine until I noticed
that there is only 200
megs free space! And I can’t delete practically nothing, only some
files. Now we are ready to buy a new HDD, but how we can copy
all this stuff with working OS, user rights and accounting softwares
to the new disk? This is really big problem for us!
If somebody can, please give some good advice!
With Best Regards,
Jan.

Instead of replacing the existing drive add a new drive and move some of
the user data to the new drive. This is much simpler than replacing the
existing drive and will probably be a longer term solution.

Larry’s right; adding is the right thing to do. When you add, look
into some PowerQuest programs, especially DataKeeper which can
dynamically backup from one HD to another … so if a HD fails, you’re
OK.

The server should have a tape backup. I just went through
this scenario 3 weeks ago. I have an 4/8 Gig. tape backup.
When I put in the new hard dive I just partitioned it
formatted the partitions and used the rescue Backexec disk
and restored from the freshly backed old HHD. To have a
server with out this type of backup is like a car with only
the emergency break to stop. Some day you will lose all.
Cheers,
John

–or–
Pray hard, and mirror the drives. Then either use
extended partitions or Partition Magic to use the
rest of the space.
