Had Win 2000 on an 80G drive with partitions. The C partition ran out of
space. Used the disc setup to format the drive and diskpart at the prompt to
attempt to set up partitions. When I get to the section that asks to enter
the size I want, the full disc capacity is already entered and I am unable to
change it.
Any suggestions?
 
Re: Prtitionind a drive

Were you not able to use the win2k cd to delete partitions, then create new?

Proper procedure is to partition the drive, then format it. If you are
trying to resize the existing partitions, you will probably need a third
party partitioning tool.
