Resize system drive HDD

A Server has three 18.2G HDD (wide ultra3 SCSI-3 10kII) and have the
following partition table on W2k Server.

Disk0 (Dynamic, 33.91GB) - C: Capacity 2.93GB FAT D: Capacity 30.94GB NTFS
Disk1 (Dynamic, 16.96GB) - D: Capacity 16.96GB NTFS

Therefore the volume drive now has the following capacity

Volume C: Simple Dynamic FAT Capacity:2.93GB Free:384M
Volume D: Spanned Dynamic NTFS Capacity: 47.9GB Free:10GB

Since system C drive remains only around 400M bytes, what tools can resize
it? Just want to enlarge the system drive for installing windows update etc.
Thanks.

A system drive of 3 GBytes is grossly inadequate for a server.
15 GBytes would be a more appropriate figure. AFAIK, none
of the current partition managers will touch dynamic partitions.
Your only choice would be to do this:

1. Connect the system disk as a slave disk to some other machine.
2. Use xcopy.exe or robocopy.exe to copy both partitions to
a spare disk. Make sure to include ACLs and hidden files.
3. Test the spare disk in the server.
4. If it works, repartition the old disk, then reverse Step 2.

By the way, in your cross-post you missed the most relevant
newsgroup: Microsoft.public.windows.server.general.
