All those people who use Windows Server 2008 know they also need to obey the following operations when they resize partition although Windows Server 2008 inherits many excellent performances of Windows Server 2003, and makes many improvements on the basis of Windows server 2003 after adding many protection measures: right click "my computer-management-disk management". After entering into disk management interface, users should shrink disk space to get unallocated space, and then extend other disk partition space. However, it has a disadvantage to use this method. Windows server 2008 built-in Disk Administrator only can help users operate backwards no matter they extend partitions or shrink partitions, which brings much inconvenience when users manage disk space. Is there a good way to resize partition safely and freely? Of course yes. Users can accomplish partition resizing easily with partition magic. In choosing partition magic, I recommend MiniTool Partition Wizard.
What is MiniTool Partition Wizard?
MiniTool Partition Wizard is a partition magic developed by MiniTool Solution Ltd., a professional partition magic development corporation. It can act as a partition resizer to help users move partitions, resize partition and shrink partition and copy partition, clone disk, convert partition and other partition managements. It can also run under Windows Server 2000, Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008, and other 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems. Moreover, it supports managements on FAT12, FAT16, FAT32, VFAT, NTF, NTFS5 and other file systems. The most important point is that it offers data protection when power is off. If accidents happen, such as power-off and system crash, this software can protect data from being damaged so as to avoid heavy loss while the majority partition resizers do not have this function. After introducing many excellent functions about MiniTool Partition Wizard, I will demonstrate how to resize partition intuitively.
Resize partition with MiniTool Partition Wizard
Now, I’m demonstrating how to resize partition with MiniTool Partition Wizard. Before resizing partition, we must visit its official website http://www.partitionwizard.com to download this free software, and then install it on the partition where we do not do any operation, which can avoid restarting computer and bringing unnecessary troubles. After installing successfully, we can see the following interface after running it.
This is the main interface of this partition resizer. To resize disk partitions, users must shrink and extract some free space from other partitions by clicking "Move/Resize" to enter the next interface.
In this interface, we can get desired disk space by dragging triangles on both ends of the partition handle or inputting accurate value in textboxes box. After finishing setting, we click "OK" to go back to the main interface.
From the main interface, we can see there appears an extra unallocated space. Select the very partition needed to resize and click "Move/Resize" to enter the next interface.
Fit the unallocated space to the current partition, and then click "OK" to confirm to go back to the main interface again.
After entering into the main interface, we can find the interface has changed. There appear two pending operations in "Operations Pending" zone. Click "Apply" to finish resizing partition with this partition resizer successfully.
