disk management/diskpart on windows server 2008 hangs

  • 772

I am having an issue on my Windows Server 2008 "Sql Server".

When I access Disk Management, the UI hangs on "Loading disk configuration information"

When I run diskpart it does nothing after showing the server name.

I NEED to expand my secondary drive because I need to move my database files off the C drive (I have like 4 gb free space).

EDIT: In the past, I used my domain controller to access disk management remotely to expand a drive and it worked on a different machine. On this one, however, the disk management hands even on the DC.

Any ideas?

    Try the following:

    • Run a chkdsk /f on all disks in the system to make sure they are ok.
    • Open up services.msc and make sure the following services are started: Remote Procedure Call (RPC), Plug and Play and Virtual Disk.
