in 2008 extend partition option is there ...in 2003 how we can do it???
No need to install extpart, it is an executable.
But you can use diskpart.
diskpart. list volume. Make note of the basic volume you want to extend. select volume <volumenumber>. This selects the basic volume volumenumber that you want to extend into contiguous, empty space on the same disk. extend [size=<size>]. This extends the selected volume by size megabytes (MB).

Have a look at the tool extpart.exe from Dell

Hi,
If your E is the only partition of your drive you can extend without a reboot using expart or diskpart.
To expand the VMDK using the VI Client , edit the settings of the virtual machine and click the hard disk you want to expand.
Then in your guest os used dispkart or extpart
Start extpart ,select the proper partition and type the size to expand.
