I have the following partitions on my drive:

 

1.) 137 GB NTFS (Windows Vista)

2.) 4 GB (Unallocated)

3.) 6 GB NTFS (Windows Server 2008 Beta)

 

The Management Console will allow me to extend the first partition into the

unallocated space, but it will not allow me to do the same with the third

partition.

 

Any ideas? Thanks!

    It only extends upward into unallocated space. You will need a third party

    partition tool to move the third partition down then resize it.

    You cannot extend to preceding freespace, therefore you will need a third

    party product. Make sure it is Vista compatible as the NTFS is different

    for Vista and you may need to use it later to work with Vista partitions.
