We know when system partition is out of space, the computer will run abnormally. At this time, I believe everyone is eager to solve this problem. Naturally, we will think about extending system partition. However, as is well known Windows built-in partition management tool does not offer system partition extension function. Without any third-party partition management software, larger system partition can be got only by deleting all partitions to recreate a new system partition or reinstall the system to reallocate system partition size. It is so complicated and time-consuming. Do you want to find out an easy and safe method for solving this problem? If you want, please go on reading this article. Before introducing my solution, I want to talk about Partition Magic which is helpful for you to understand my method.
Partition Magic is the first partition management software developed by PowerQuest Corporation and then acquired by Symantec in 2003. However, in 2009, Symantec stopped selling Partition Magic. Although Partition Magic does not have news editions since 2003, it is so well known that its name becomes the proper name of partition management software. Even to this day, many users try looking for Windows Server 2008 Partition Magic to help them resize system partition. As a matter of fact, the last Server Magic, the Server edition of Partition Magic, only can support Server 2000 and its former Server operating systems. That is to say Server Magic does not support Server 2008. Well then, is there an alternative for Partition Magic Server 2008? The answer is positive. Next, let's talk about the alternative for Partition Magic Server 2008.
