I don't know if this utility is in Win2K but in WinXP you goto :

Control panel --> Administrative Tools --> Computer Management --> 
Storage --> Disk Management.

With this utility you can create and delete partitions (I have used it as 
such) it also has the ability to "Extend a Basic Volume" from this I 
would assume that it means "make a partition bigger".
