Your only other option is to install an additional hard drive then create a map-point from the existing drive to the new one. The space on the new drive will be used by any file stored in the map-point folder. If that is not a viable option for you, you could try a complete system backup, create a new larger partition, re-install W2KSBS, then restore your backup.
