Additional Hard Drive 1

[TommyB44]

Hello All,

I have a hard drive with windows server 2003 O/S on it only i'm running out of space, I was told it's possible to link another hard drive to it, rather then reinstall the whole site on to another (bigger) hard drive, Firstly is this correct ?. If so how do I link the

http://wwwroot

to it ?.

Thanks for reading.

Yes you can add another drive and mount it as another partition, but you won't be able to extend your "C" drive as this is a basic disk.

Check out this article quick on changing the installation path of IIS:

I see, so the server will boot up on C: drive and the site will run on the D: drive. O.K,
Thanks Intruder.

sure will. before you write data to the D drive, go into disk management and convert the new disk to Dynamic, then create the volume. If you add yet another disk later on, you can simply extend the volume from this disk directly into the new drive.
