As we know that Server 2003 users have appointed partition size for every partition when they install Server 2003. However, original partition space can not meet their changing storage demands. That is because they should continuously install new applications, Windows updates and other things to ensure normal running and optimize partition performance. When system partition is under Low Disk Space or out of space, Server 2003 will run slowly even crash. Facing these problems, the most original method is to reinstall Server 2003 to recreate a new larger Server 2003 system partition. In the process of reinstalling, if we do not make a complete back-up or operate mistakenly, we will bear great losses resulted from data loss. Besides, installing and repartitioning is a time-consuming and toilsome task and nobody is willing to waste a large amount of time on it. In this article, I will introduce another effective, easy, fast, and safe way, namely repartition Server 2003 with partition magic Server 2003 software. To extend system partition of Server 2003 with partition magic Server 2003, we also have two methods: use one partition to merge another partition or shrink one partition to extend the other partition with partition magic Server 2003. I do not recommend the first method, because merging means losing one partition although data in the partition which will be included in the other partition will be transferred. Compared with the first method, the second method is easier, safer, and more effective. However, selecting a perfect partition magic Server is not easy. Functions, compatibility, effect, price and many other aspects should be considered.
