As known to all, the distribution of computer hard drive partition space will influence the computer performance and user experience.
Problem 1. When system partition lacks of space, computer will run slower and slower and even crashes, causing data loss.
Problem 2. When users store a large-capacity file to partition, all partitions are not large enough to hold this file.
Problem 3. Users want to keep file into specified partition, but this partition is not large enough when other partitions has unused space.
Problem 4. To make the data search and use more convenient, users store data into different partition according to the types. Although the existing partitions are large enough, the data kept in them are not similar with the new data.
How can users solve these problems when they occur on Windows Server 2008 computer?
The solutions are given below.

Solution 2. Take unallocated space from multiple partitions with the "Extend Partition" function of Windows Server 2008 Server manager, and then use it to extend partition or create a new partition.
Solution 3. Take unallocated space from the partition with enough unused space by using the "Extend Partition" function of Windows Server 2008 Server manager, and then use it to extend partition.
