Extending Server 2003 partitions
In order to keep our computers run normally, we have to install many application programs and Windows updates continuously. Just because of this reason, our system partition space becomes more and more deficient. At last, the operating system pops up an alert dialogue box Low Disk Space. When we meet this kind of problem, we must take actions to extend Server 2003 system partition as soon as possible. If not, our data will be in danger.



Well then, how to extend Server 2003 system partition? Here, I introduce three methods.
1. Delete some files, and uninstall some application programs or other programs to get free space.
2. Merge the system partition with another partition.
3. Extend the system partition with Server partition magic.
With the first method, we cannot get enough space. More seriously, the operating system may run abnormally or even crash.
If we use the second method, we will lose one partition whose data also may be lost due to mistaken operations.
For the third method, we can shrink one partition to extend the system partition with unallocated space, not needing deletion, format, or even reinstallation. All operations are so easy. Besides, it also can ensure data safety.

Data protection in the process of extending Server 2003 partitions
Comprehensive speaking, the third method, namely using Server partition magic, is obviously the best method. As we know we should pay much attention to data safety and stability of Server computers, because Server users often store important files and daily used files in the Server. MiniTool Partition Wizard Server Edition just has the Enhanced Data Protection function which can ensure data safety in the process of extending Server 2003 partitions. Besides, it also has other excellent functions, such as Copy Partition Wizard, Partition Recovery Wizard, Copy Disk Wizard, Delete Partitions, Create Partitions, Resize Partitions, Convert File System, and Merge Partitions. These functions can help us manage our partitions and disks well.
