I don't think it's impossible, when it is resized it would take a long time to create a new FAT (i think it creates a new FAT) and reincludes everything in the partiton

I think you should use Partition Magic.
It can format, resize drives, convert drives to NTFS, FAT, ext ...

And especially, it's very easy to use

yup, i used Partition Magic to convert to NTFS

Gay sauce? WTF is gay sauce?

Does partition Magic explicitly support 2003? I couldn't find anything on there site so i gave a him a Powerquest link.. shoot me! There is a program called boot-it partition resizer thats even easier to use than partition magic. It's definitely not impossible.

You should be able to convert the drive from a basic drive into a dynamic drive within the disk tools with windows 2003 server, and then simply extend the partition to the extra space available. No extra software needed! Good luck!
