Boot partition is full

I'm in the process of rebuilding a server, but in the
meantime, I need to free up space on the boot partition of
the current one.

For what ever reason, before I started working here, this
server was built with a 2GB boot partition. I now have
about 250MB free space and need to free up space soon.

Can I safely delete the folders "$NtUninstallKB####$? I
have no intention of uninstalling these updates.

Also, is there anything I can do about the
ServicePackFiles folder? It's 228MB.

I have a lot of space on the D: drive. Is there a way to
move these folders if I can't delete them? If I move
them, do I need to change a pointer somewhere so Windows
can find the folders?

Thanks.

Go by partition manager and resize the partition to somethign like 5 gig. it
is common to keep a seperate data partition then your boot partition but
people forget to install programs and services to the second partition.
Also activedirectory profiles and /home paths can consume it alot too. you
might want to make sure thier paths are going to the second partition if
your running it.

Just clone twice using an interim disk.

I would use Partition Magic to resize the partition.... like what Jazz suggested..
