Extend Partition

Extend system partition on Windows Server 2000/2003/2008

When installing Windows server operating system, partitions are already allocated. But with time passed by, scheduled size of partition may not meet our needs, especially system partition. That is because of Windows updates, applications, browser caches, temporary files, etc. They cause slow disk space, and system low speed.
Windows operating systems warn users when there is not enough disk space.



Server system is very important so these problems should be fixed as soon as possible. With low disk space, we are unable to install Windows updates or other applications thus causes system runs rather slowly or even crashes. We can free up some space when there is not much free space.
Most users will try to free up system partition space to solve this problem. Actually, it will not last long to free up some space, because that when system is running, there always are many data and files to be saved to system partition. It is the best way to extend system partition thus to improve system efficiency.
Although some server partition magic can extend partition directly without deleting or formatting partition, there are still many server partition magic with poor quality that cause data loss or partition damage. Especially for server, data security is most important.
MiniTool Partition Wizard Server Edition, developed by MiniTool Solution Ltd., is professional partition magic server edition that has various functions about managing disk and partition of server, including resize partition, merge partition, move partition, copy partition, etc. It also guarantees data security and is compatible with all kinds of operating systems or disks.
