We can increase partition size for Windows Server 2003 easily by using MiniTool Partition Wizard.

Many users of Windows Server 2003 may have encountered the situation of lacking space. It brings a great deal of inconvenience, for example low operating speed of computer, invalidation of installing software to the appointed partition, data storage failure. How to deal with insufficiency of partition space in Windows Server 2003? Many uses may acquiesce in it or delete the original data to release some space. However, that method only solves the problem temporarily and if the partition data all are important, would you like to delete them? Actually, many users have considered increasing partition size for Windows Server 2003, but they have no right idea. Then, we'll introduce two ways to increase partition size for Windows Server 2003.

Use system's built-in disk utility in Windows Server 2003 to increase partition size
Diskpart in Windows is a command line tool used to replace FDISK, helping users in many partition management operations. And using Diskpart to increase Windows Server 2003 partition is a common operation for users who are familiar with computer commands. The procedures are following:
Firstly, use Windows disk management tool to check whether there is unallocated space next to the partition to be extended, as the following picture shows.



If there is, run the command prompt tool in Windows Server 2003 and enter corresponding command code, just as follows.



After all operations, run the Windows built-in utility and we can see the partition has been extended successfully, just as follows.



This method has a high demand for computer command knowledge, difficult for many common computer users. When command code is being entered, any carelessness may result in serious consequences. What's more, this way can only be achieved on the premise that there is unallocated space behind and adjacent to the partition to be extended, having great limitation. Therefore, if users who are unfamiliar with computer command want to increase partition space for Windows Server 2003, it is suggested to use the professional partition manager server – MiniTool Partition Wizard, which is simpler and more flexible.

Extend partition size in Windows Server 2003 with MiniTool Partition Wizard
Compared with Diskpart, MiniTool Partition Wizard's graphic operating interface simplifies the operations, decreasing the error possibility greatly and resizing partition and moving partition freely make it possible for users who have no idea of computer commands to increase partition space in Windows Server 2003.
Visit the official website http://www.partitionwizard.com/ to download and install MiniTool Partition Wizard to the computer and then launch the partition manager server. We can see the main interface.



In this interface, there is no unallocated space behind Partition F:, which will be extended, so Diskpart can not be applied, but MiniTool Partition Wizard could make it. Select the partition behind and adjacent to Partition F: and click "Move/Resize". The interface of Move/Resize Partition will appear, just as the following picture shows.



In this interface, drag the left triangle rightward or input exact value in the textbox to shorten Partition Handle, thereby shrinking the selected partition and releasing unallocated space. Then click "OK" to return to the main interface.



In the main interface, there has been an unallocated space adjacent to Partition F:. Now, we can increase Partition F: directly and the operation procedures are akin to shrinking partition. After going back to the main interface, we should click "Apply" to perform all previous operations and increasing partition size for Windows Server 2003 is done.

If lack of space occurs in your Windows Server 2003, the above methods both can be used to increase Windows Server 2003 partition size. But if you are unfamiliar with computer command, for the sake of data security, the second method, which has higher security, is strongly recommended.
