After Server 2003 users have used their computers for a long spell, the operating system may pop up a warning Low Disk Space or even Out of Space. Under these situations, we can not install any application program and Windows update in the computer, which may lead to abnormal running and data damage or data loss. Professionals know there are many methods for solving this problem:
1. Reinstall the Server: This method is very dangerous and time-consuming. If we do not make a complete back-up for all data in the disk or operate mistakenly in the process of reinstalling, we will bear great losses caused by data loss or data damage. Besides, reinstallation will cost us a large amount of time, which is not willing to happen.
2. Merge the system partition with another partition: Merging means losing one data partition. Although data in the partition which will be included to the system partition will be transferred to the system partition, even a slight error may lead to data loss or data damage in the process of back-up. This method is also dangerous.
3. Extend Server 2003 system partition with partition magic Server: Compared with the former two methods, this method is safer, easier, and faster. We only need to drag partition handle and click several functional buttons, and the system expansion will be realized. Even a green hand can finish system partition expansion easily without data loss as long as he operates it according to prompts.
