Partition size

Question

Sign in to vote

We have a server with the Microsoft server 2008 OS on the C Drive. The size of the C Drive partition is 52GB. The overall size of the hard drive is 500GB. Can the OS function on a drive of this size without any problems? Also is there a minimum partition size for an OS partition? If we resize the partitions how long should it would take?
