Change partition sizes
-
Changing partition size is not a difficult thing for most computer users. With more and more choices of partition magic, we can find so many partition magic helping us realize changing partition size. In the latest Microsoft operating systems, we can use built-in disk management tool to change partition size. Hence, changing partition size is not difficult for common users.
However, changing partition sizes at the same time is not an easy thing. You should know that even Windows Server 2008 or Windows 7 built-in disk management tool can't realize changing partition sizes at the same time. Is there a suitable solution to this problem? The answer is absolutely yes. This article will introduce a good solution to you.
Significance of changing partition seizes
Then what is the significance of changing partition sizes at the same time? Since it is a very common situation that partition space is insufficient but the adjacent partition still has much unused space, so we can change partition sizes at the same time to change this situation. We can compress unused space and then extend partition that is short of free space. This apparently simple operation can't be realized by most partition magic such as built-in disk management tool. Even though it can compress single partition, it can only make unallocated space behind the compressed partition. It is impossible for us to extend partition with non-adjacent space. That's why we need the software which is able to change partition sizes at the same time. Where can we find such a solution? MiniTool Partition Wizard is the best choice for us at this time. The following is a demonstration of changing partition sizes with MiniTool Partition Wizard:
