Server Partition Manager

Disk partition manager

It is pretty troublesome for Windows server users to manage server partition, because even Windows Sever 2008 built-in disk management tool has functional defects. It is unable to help users manage Server 2008 disk partition perfectly.



The above screenshot is the main interface of Sever 2008 built-in disk management tool. From this interface, we can see there is an unallocated space before E partition. But unfortunately, when we plan to extend E partition with the unallocated space, we find the function Extend Volume is in grey. Why? That is because system built-in disk management tool can not extend partition forwards. Under this situation, we have to ask third-party disk partition manager for help. But it is not easy to use disk partition manager to extend server disk partition, for commonly seen disk partition managers are developed for common Windows operating systems not for Windows Server operating systems. For sake of convenience, I recommend MiniTool Partition Wizard which is developed by famous software development company MiniTool Solution Ltd..
