Good article, well explained! I've found this one really good for doing the same, except using VMware instead of Hyper-V and also Windows Server 2008.

Thank you for taking the time to document this procedure. Worked for me with the following tips:

- It's helpful to label/name the drives first, for example "Server1-C".

- Remove the drive from the 2003 machine at the beginning of Part II.

I expanded and extended the disk (increase capacity)using diskpart and documented the process at: How To Expand and Extend To Increase Capacity On A Virtual Hard Disk The Easy and Fast Way–Solve the problem of “Out of Disk Space on Drive C” Forever. http://blogs.technet.com/b/danstolts/archive/2011/04/02/how-to-expand-and-extend-to-increase-capacity-on-a-virtual-hard-disk-the-easy-and-fast-way-solve-the-problem-of-out-of-disk-space-on-drive-c-forever.aspx

You can extend on the fly (like with 2008) using the ExtPart tool from Dell. 32-bit only though, but very handy!

Hi Dan, I found an easier way. Boot the virtual server from Win2008 or Win7 DVD, running the recovery command line > diskpart > list disk > select disk 0 (or the right number from list) > "extend" and restart. V.
