Extend primary partition for Windows 7 without damaging data.

As a bellwether of software development industry, MiniTool Solution Ltd. has released a series of excellent products, and MiniTool Partition Wizard is one of its master pieces. Before using this partition magic, many users just have a superficial understanding of partition management technology. They think good partition management can be realized as long as they accomplish basic partition management like creating partition, deleting partition and formatting partition. But after using MiniTool Partition Wizard, users begin to realize partition management is a profound technology. Partition management not only includes creating partition, deleting partition, and formatting partition, but contains extending partition, shrinking partition, merging partitions, and other operations. Therefore, MiniTool Partition Wizard is an excellent partition magic which guides users to further research partition management.

Some users may ask what advantages MiniTool Partition Wizard has compared with other partition management tools now that it is so meaningful. For this question, users can find answers after downloading it from its official website http://www.partitionwizard.com/ and using it, such as comprehensive partition management competence, easy and fast operations, and good flexibility. Let's compare MiniTool Partition Wizard with Windows 7 built-in disk management tool. MiniTool Partition Wizard has more comprehensive management operations, and even for the operations of the same function, it is faster and easier to operate this partition magic. For example, extending primary partition in Windows 7 with Windows 7 built-in disk management tool can not be realized unless there is unallocated space behind the primary partition. If there is no unallocated space behind the primary partition, users have to delete the neighboring partition. But if users choose the professional partition magic MiniTool Partition Wizard, the situation will be different. This partition magic not only can resize partition but can move partition. Even if the unallocated space is nonadjacent to primary partition, we still can use it to extend primary partition after moving its location. Maybe, it is difficult to understand the specific operating steps only through the above introduction. Next, let's get to know detailed steps through operating demonstration.

Extend primary partition in Windows 7 with MiniTool Partition Wizard
After downloading this partition magic from its official website and installing it to the computer, we run it to enter its main interface:



From the main interface, we can see the unallocated space is nonadjacent to primary partition. Under this situation, system built-in disk management is unable to extend primary partition in Windows 7. But we can move the location of the unallocated space by using the function "Move/Resize" of MiniTool Partition Wizard, like the following interface shows:



After resizing, we can see the unallocated space is neighboring to the primary partition. Select the primary partition and click "Move/Resize" functional button to extend primary partition in Windows 7.

From the above demonstration, users can see it is easy to operate this partition magic, and no special requirement is required. Even if you know nothing about partition management technology, you also do not need to worry you are unable to use this partition magic to manage partition correctly. Moreover, the main interface shows us numerous partition management functions. Here, there is no need to introduce them one by one, and users can get corresponding operations from its official website. At last, thank you for supporting MiniTool Solution Ltd..

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.

For example, it can not realize some partition management operations, such as merge Win7 partition, move Win7 partition, resize Win7 partition, and change cluster.
