Expanding boot partition of Windows 2008 server

Originally, I have two partition on only one disk.  Finally, I get my new disk.  So, I use Ghost to copy the second partition D drive to the new disk.  To free up space, I remove the old partition D drive on the 1st disk in Disk Management.  Then right click on C drive and choose Extend Volume.  Follow the wizard and now C drive is expanded to occupy all the space on the first disk without reboot.

There is a Shrink Volume option.  Not sure how reliable it is though.
