qtparted partition resizing issue

[chuck2002]

Tool:
I am working with this boot cd http://www.sysresccd.org/ and qtparted to resize some partitions.

Platform:
Win2k server operating system. (So partition magic won't work since it is a server OS) Single drive with 2 partitions. (C and D)

Situation:
I am running out of space on the C partition and would like to increase the size of the C partition by first decreasing the size of the D partition and then increasing the size of the C partition.

Problem:
I have successfully reduced the size of the D partition using qtparted and committed the change. My problem comes in when trying to increase the size of the C drive with the available unallocated space freed from D. The resize for the C partition doesn't seem to allow the increase into the free space.

Any help is appreciated.

shove the drive into another system, - not a server. then use partition manager on that drive. When you put it back into the server system, the drive will pretend nothing happened, except bigger partitions.

Well, that would work but this is a dell server with scsi and the drives are in a configured raid array.
