I have a Windows 2000 Server that has a 3x18 array. The disk is partitioned
into 2 volumes. 4GB - for system, and 32GB for data. Both dynamic.

If I were to back up the data volume and then convert it back to a basic
disk, would I be able to extend the system volume? And then in turn,
recreate the data volume, and copy the data back.

I think you'll find you'll need some third pary software to achieve
this.

I use Ghost on a regular basis to move OS's to larger drives, the same
or something similar would be required I think.
 
This server is a domain controller (single server). If I used the Ghost
method to move/resize the system partition, would I have to re-setup the
entire domain again? -(AD, DNS, etc.)
