A considerable number of Windows users are facing such a question when they resize partition , extend partition more specifically, with partition magic that the resize partition or extend partition operation is aborted for the unallocated space is not adjacent to the target partition to be extended. A lot of partition magic fitting Windows operating systems offer extend partition and shrink partition functions, but resizing partition comprise resizing partition capacity as well as moving partition, an important function playing a crucial role in resizing partition. Regarding to this dilemma, we need the help of MiniTool Partition Wizard. As a professional partition magic, MiniTool Partition Wizard enjoys tremendous users and is a must-have tool for Windows operating systems. Above-mentioned problem may still emerges when user is resizing partition with this partition magic, but this is not resulted from defect of software itself and, on the contrary, it has integrated the Resize Partition and Move Partition functions to facilitate resizing partition. In actual operation, no matter where the unallocated space locates, MiniTool Partition Wizard can successfully resize partition. The root reason for resizing partition failure is that user doesn’t find the correct solution.
Concrete problem encountered when users resize partition under Windows
When there is unallocated space between two partitions, capitalizing on MiniTool Partition Wizard to resize partition becomes extremely simple. However, we just have a slender possibility to meet such circumstance and the majority of circumstances we meet are that two neighboring partitions don’t have unallocated space amidst them. At this point, we need more operations to realize resizing partition.
In this interface, we can see unallocated space only exists at the end of the entire disk. If we are to extend F: and directly click on "Move/Resize" to enter resize partition interface, our desired operation can not be accomplished as no unallocated space is available at the both ends of the partition. In this regard, MiniTool Partition Wizard offers two solutions:
Solution one:
At first, shrink E: or G: to acquire enough unallocated space, then resize partition F: with the unallocated space. Most users currently are very familiar with this solution, but this solution still has defect. When the adjacent partition is fully crammed with data, we can not obtain enough space by shrinking partition.
Solution two:
From interface below, we can see a large amount of free space is available at the end of the disk. If we can capitalize on the space to resize partition F:, our purpose can be realize on the basis of not affecting normal use of other partitions. To accomplish this goal, we should employ MiniTool Partition Wizard and follow operations shown below:
First, select G: and then click "Move/Resize" at toolbar to enter Move/Resize partition interface.
Drag rectangle rightwards in the red zone to quick modify location of unallocated space in this interface. After that, click "OK" to return to main interface.
From preview effect interface, the unallocated space has been moved to a neighboring place to F:, last we should just click "Apply" to execute this operation genuinely. Next, we will be able to resize partition F: easily.
Whatever partition magic we utilize, we are always required to shrink partitions to get enough free space and move partitions repeatedly. Fortunately, MiniTool Partition Wizard, with comprehensive resizing partition functions, easy-to-use operations and intuitive GUI, can perfectly help us resize partition. if any problems when using MiniTool Partition Wizard, please logon to http://www.partitionwizard.com for more information.
