Windows Server 2003 is an excellent server edition operating system released by Microsoft on March 28th, 2003. Compared with Windows 2000, Windows Server 2003 has a lot of improvement like improvement on Active Directory, operation and management of Group Police and so on. It is highly appreciated by many server users due to its higher security, reliability, availability and expandability. When users enjoy those advantages, they may encounter lots of problems. One of them is the partition management. Since disk management tool built in Windows Server 2003 has simplex function, many users are looking for some better Windows Server 2003 partition magic for partition management while there are some other users familiar with code using the command "DiskPart" to manage disks. Which method is better? We will make a comparison in partition of Windows Server 2003.
Using the command "DiskPart" to extend partition in Windows Server 2003
User need not to install the software. The detailed procedures are following.
1. Click "Start".
2. Select "Command Prompt".
3. Input "diskpart" in the popup command line interface and press "Enter"
4. Input "list volume" and press "Enter" to view partition status.
5. Input "select volume x" to select the partition that will be expanded (X is the number of partition which needs to be expanded).
6. Input "extend" to finish partition expansion.
NOTE: If users want to extend partition by using "DiskPart", there must be unallocated space adjacent to the partition that will be extended
We can save installation procedure by using the command "DiskPart" in Windows Sever 2003, but inputting command code is difficult and complicated for users who are unfamiliar with code. And Windows Server 2003 partition magic is easier to reduce the possibility of accidental operation.
