Server Partition Manager

Windows Server 2008 resize partition

When extending partition with system built-in disk management tool, many Windows Server 2008 users have met the situation where the function "Extend Volume…" is not activated. What's the reason? Though Microsoft adds 2 new functions namely "Extend Volume…" and "Shrink Volume…" to Windows Server 2008 built-in disk management tool, they have defects. For example, users can only operate NTFS partition with these 2 functions; the function "Extend Volume…" works only when there is unallocated space behind and adjacent to target NTFS partition. If there is no suitable unallocated space, users will fail to resize partition with this tool.
