Why do we need to extend system partition?

As applications continue being installed into the Windows system, one day, suddenly you will find that the system partition would not have enough free disk space, so when each time the machine starts, Windows always prompts these information: You are not having enough disk space on SYSTEM (C:), To free space for this drive by deleting old or unnecessary files, click here??

In cases like this, we have to delete the unwanted file to obtain more free space in order to ensure the traditional operation of Windows. However, deleting files is not the simplest way, because my system disk have a total of 250GB, the device boot partition (C:) is only 20GB, and 230GB was divided to data partition (D:), it really is clear that (D:) space is large enough, and now a great way is the fact that distribute 60GB from the (D:) to (C:) to increase system partition, so that you can permanently solve the situation by using the Extend Partition Wizard from the "Partition Assistant".

Extend system partition by using Partition Assistant

Extend Partition Wizard is specially made for extending your system boot partition along with other partitions on the disk. It might fully utilize the free space and unallocated space on the disk to be practical. The program will automatically shrink large partitions and moves them to release more space to raise the dimensions for that your appointed partition. It's easy and safe without loss of data, without reformatting partition. Besides, the Partition Magic Server can guide you to realize higher partition operations.

Being a partition manager, Partition Assistant is a bit more flexible for you to pick which partition for resizing, just operate these functions for instance extend, shrink, move, delete partition etc a single interface. Click right in the partition, you will observe the functions: Resize, Move, Delete, Label, Format, in the "Advanced" menu option, it is possible to Change letter, Hide/Unhide Partition, Set Active Partition, Convert File System, Check errors, Wipe data.

Extend system partition with Windows disk management

To expand/extend system boot partition and increase its free space in Windows 2000, Or windows xp and Windows 2003 is extremely tough to do previously time, as their built-in Disk Management failed to provide the functions of extending partition or shrinking partition, this would have to use third-party tools for instance Partition Magic, Disk Director, and also other partition magic 9 software to try and do the extending volume operation.

However, in Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008 and Windows 7 times, Expanding Volume has stopped being a difficult task, because Disk Management of Vista, Win2008 and Win7 happen to be built in the functions for instance expanding volume and shrinking volume, plus include extending system partition, which is very simple to use without depending on alternative party partition utilities. It's capable of extend primary partition and logical partition, concurrently, this feature can not only resize (adjust) the dimensions of a simple partition on an elementary disk, but it may also resize dynamic system volume on the dynamic disk. Yet partition magic along with other disk management tools can not handle dynamic disks. Thus, resizing a dynamic disk volume should indeed be an excellent feature on Vista, Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008. Now arrived at experience!
