Although Microsoft has released the latest Windows operating system Windows 7, Windows XP which once dominated the whole operating system is still preferred by many game lovers. Why do game lovers not use Windows 7 which has higher performance? In fact, the reason is very simple. That is because many games can not be compatible with Windows 7. To play more games, most game lovers give up Windows 7 but choose Windows XP which has better compatibility. However, Windows XP has some defects although it has strong compatibility. In other words, Windows XP can not realize Windows XP partition resizing better. Maybe, some users have once met the situation where they can not install a game on one partition completely while the total unused disk space can hold this game. At this time, there are 3 ways to solve this problem.
1. Delete other games.
2. Buy a new hard disk.
3. Resize Windows XP partition.
I believe no game lover will take the first way, because every game has archive records got from hard work. And the second way will increase cost. Therefore, the best way is to resize Windows XP partition. At this time, the defect of Windows XP is reflected. To solve this problem, the third party partition magic is recommended. Among so much partition magic, MiniTool Partition Wizard is strongly suggested.
