Users often need the operation of resizing partition when they perform partition management. For example, the system warns users the very partition is out of space when users install software on this partition. At this time, users need to resize partition to help solve this problem. Therefore, partition resizing plays a very important role in partition management. Nowadays much partition magic has this function. For example, MiniTool Partition Wizard, an experienced partition magic, can help users resize partition easily. However, before resizing partitions, users need to analyze whether the current partitions are reasonable or not. Next, let’s see whether our hard disk partitions are reasonable or not.
Hard disk partition status analyses before resizing partitions
Users can judge if their partitions are reasonable by judging whether those partitions are easy to use. Types of unreasonable partitions:
1. Excessive partitions: it is inconvenient to read file material with too many partitions. Besides, it is difficult to manage them.
2. So few partitions: users are used to storing different types of data file on different partitions. If partitions are so few, it is not good for users to store files.
3. Too large partitions: too large partitions can reduce disk use rate, waste disk space, and so on.
4. Too small partitions, especially system partition: too small system partition can have a serious influence on running rate. All the above are common situations where partitions are unreasonable. When users meet such situations, they can resize partition with the function of "Move/Resize" in MiniTool Partition Wizard.
Resize partition with MiniTool Partition Wizard
The following interface shows us all partition conditions in our computers. Through analyzing, we can see my hard disk partitions are very unreasonable. Now, I will resize partition with MiniTool Partition Wizard, a professional partition magic.
At first, we input http://www.partitionwizard.com/ in browser to visit its official website, and then download it. Then, we install it on the partition where we do not do any operation. After running it, we can see the following interface:
This is the main interface of MiniTool Partition Wizard where we can see F: partition is too large, so now we divide F: partition into two partitions. Select F: Partition and then click "Move/Resize" at the tool bar to enter partition resizing interface like the following interface:
On the top of the interface, there is a marquee that is a data protection mode. I suggest checking it. Then, we drag triangles on both ends of the partition handle to change partition size. We can also drag the whole partition handle to move partition location. The second method of changing partition size and partition location: input exact values in textbox boxes. After finishing settings, we click "OK" to enter the next step.
At this time, there appears an extra unallocated space in "Disk" 1. It comes from F: partition. We select it, and then select "Create" function button on top toolbar to create a partition to activate the next interface automatically.
At this time, the original F: partition has been divided into F: partition and G: partition. Now, we just need to click "Apply" to perform these operations. After finishing all these operations, F: partition is will really be divided into two partitions.
