Shrink Partition
-
Speaking of compressing file, many think of employing file compression software to compress files. Then what will user think of when talking about shrinking partition? Of course, Shrink Partition software will first come into to users’ minds equally. Shrink Partition, in fact, is freeing up unused space from partition to make full use of disk space. Here, many Windows 7 users may complain the built-in disk management tool of Windows 7 offers Compress Partition functions and why they should turn to partition magic software. Practically, safely utilizing the built-in disk management to perform disk management operations such as Compress Partition without data loss entails professional knowledge. Though Windows 7 provides us with partition compressing function, its complication intimidates a vast number of users. In this sense, I would like to recommend a partition magic by the name of MiniTool Partition Wizard which broke through limitation of Windows built-in disk management tool and allows user to shrink partition safely and easily.
Limitation of operating system built-in disk management tool
To make the most of disk space, some would employ built-in disk management tool to shrink partition, which, whereas, is not recommended due to its limitation.
Limitation of Disk Manager can be seen from image below:
This is the main interface of Disk Manager where an unallocated space (red zone) emerges after C: was compressed. Beware that unallocated freed up by Disk Manager will only exist after the handling partition instead of before or at the two sides of handling partition, which cast great limitation for expanding partition.
MiniTool Partition Wizard performs Shrink Partition with better performance
Why MiniTool Partition Wizard is so outstanding in compressing partition in comparison with Disk Manager? The reason is very simple that MiniTool Partition Wizard, the excellent partition magic, boasts easy-to-use operations and offers visual GUI to enable users to shrink partition more intuitively, which is not covered by Disk Manager. Most importantly, unallocated space spared out by MiniTool Partition Wizard Shrink Partition could be situated at anywhere near the handling partition.
Firstly, this is the interface for resizing partition where user can both input accurate value and drag the borders of partition handle to resize partition. After resizing, click "OK" to return to main interface on which user can see unallocated spaces appears at the two sides of handling partition like the following interface shows.
This means MiniTool Partition Wizard’s Shrink Partition function allows user to intuitively view partition status to facilitating compressing partition.
