Resize Partition

Resizing partition

  • Resizing partitions is a common operation when using computer. Resizing partition frequently can not only allocate disk space reasonably, but promote computer operating efficiency. So what do we pay the most attention to when resizing partition? In general, there are two points. The first one is data safety in partition. The second one is the convenience of resizing operation while the most important one is data safety. However, how can we resize partition without leaving any damage to partition data? In fact, it is so easy. Any partition management operation is safe if users own MiniTool Partition Wizard, a professional partition magic which can help users resize partition quickly and easily without bringing partition damage. But how can MiniTool Partition Wizard help users realize resizing partition without any damage? Next, let me introduce the basic principle of resizing partitions with MiniTool Partition Wizard.

    How does MiniTool Partition Wizard help users realize resizing partition?

    Before introducing the principles of resizing partition with MiniTool Partition Wizard, we must learn something about data structure of hard disk. In general, disk in data structure aspect is divided into 5 parts: master boot section, operating system boot section, file allocating table, directory area and data area. Master partition table in master boot sector and operating system boot section include partition starting location, partition size, and so on. File allocation table and directory area are used to record file index. Data area is used to store data. MiniTool Partition Wizard helps users resize partition by changing partition starting location, partition size and other information in master boot sector and operating system boot section, and changing data file and other information in file allocating table and directory area. Commonly, we do not perform any operation in data section. Even if we do some operations in data section, these operations are just copy data and duplicate data. So, resizing partition with MiniTool Partition Wizard will not bring with partition data any influence.

    How to resize partition with MiniTool Partition Wizard
    To resize partition with MiniTool Partition Wizard, please install it on the very partition where we do not do any operation so as to guarantee all operations are accomplished successfully. After finishing installation, we can see the main interface of the software just like the following interface:



    From the partition list of the software, we can see all partition status. Here, we take D: partition as an example. At first, select and then right click D: partition in a following a popup menu. We click "Move/Resize" function button in the menu to enter the next interface where we can resize partition:



    In this interface, there are two choices for resizing partition. The first one is by inputting corresponding values into input box. The second method is by dragging the triangles on both ends of the partition handle marked by red box to change the length of partition handle. I suggest checking the marquee in the interface if there is no special requirement, which can give your partition data a power-off protection. After finishing settings, please click "OK" to go back to the main interface:



    At this time, we can see D: partition has been shrunk. The shrunk space becomes unallocated space below D: partition. However, this is just a preview. If users want to realize real partition shrinking, please click "Apply" to execute all former operations.

    Isn’t so easy to resize partition with MiniTool Partition Wizard? Resizing partition like with this partition can largely reduce the possibility of data loss resulted from mistaken operations.
