I have a rather odd question, or at least it's the opposite of the question most people ask. I don't want to expand the system partition, I want to remove it. Here's the situation: I have an old VM that was originally created by a P2V conversion. I wasn't very savvy at the time, and I just converted the existing physical hard drive into one virtual hard drive. The result is that I have a 1TB VMDK file that has both the system partition and a data partition on it. Now I'm replacing this old VM (which is Windows Server 2003) with a new one that will run Windows 2012 R2. So, in order not to have to move the 900 or so GB of data that are on this VMDK using the traditional file move process, I was wondering if there's any way to simply REMOVE the system partition and end up with a single 1TB VMDK with just the data on it that I can then remove from the old VM and move to the new one. So far my searches haven't found any clues as to how this might be done, but I'm hoping some expert here will know of a way, possibly using some kind of V2V conversion process.
Thanks!
