can FAT32 file system be extended??
Diskpart utility doesnt allow that.
Is there any other utility which allows FAT32 file system to be extended.
I see that there are some utilities but they r asking for a license.
any free version available anywhere???

Thanks in advance

Use Partition Magic. You can get it free with Norton Internet Security and
Norton Ghost when Fry’s has a sale. Remember if you don’t care about your
data, just repartition and format the drive. Otherwise, use a good product.

I guess partition magic is not supported for windows server 2003.
we want an utility that is supported by the above OS.

I’m amused that you’re running Server 2003 on a FAT32 filesystem.

You may also want to look at System Rescue CD. It includes parted, and many other handy tools.

Install it on XP. Create the bootable floppy. Use those files on a
bootable USB stick. Run Partition Magic from DOS environment and it will
work on any FAT or NTFS volume. Extending, shrinking, or moving a partition
while it is in use is not a good idea. The other mode of PM does involve
creating a boot from a special environment created if required, but I
usually just use a bootable CD or USB stick when I need it.

Here, we’ve had good luck with the Paragon software set of tools… such as Paragon Partition Manager.

Not associated with, and don’t know the company. Just giving our experience with their tools,
