Learn to use Windows Server 2003 partition capacity enhancement function

Partitioning is the way to increase the space for a partition when it does not meet the usage requirements. Many friends encounter this situation, generally using PartitionMagic. But in fact, users of Windows XP/Server 2003 can use the built-in disk management function to complete the space "capacity" of the partition. Let's explore it by way of example.
First, draw free space
Suppose now need to increase the capacity of the D disk 50MB, this space needs to be extracted from the E disk. Then we must first divide the 50MB space from the E disk. The process of this operation is as follows:

First transfer all data of E disk to other partitions, then click "Start → Run", enter "Diskmgmt.msc" and press Enter to open the "Disk Management" window. Select the E disk and right click, select the "Delete this logical drive" item in the pop-up shortcut menu. Click the "Yes" button in the pop-up prompt to continue. When the operation is complete, the same amount of free space as the deleted partition will appear in the "Disk 0" column.

Second, increase the capacity of the partition
At this point, please note that the current space of the D drive is 855MB, now we are going to increase the operation of 50MB. Click Start→Programs→Accessories→Command Prompt. In the window that opens, enter the four commands “Diskpart”, “List volume”, “Select volume 2”, and “Extend Size=50”.

Among them, the "Diskpart" command is used to call the DOS disk management program, and the "Diskpart/?" command can see the Chinese help information under the DOS command. "List Volume" is used to display the details of all the disks on the system, so as to know the volume number of the required expansion partition. Here we can see that the volume number of the D disk is "2"; the "Select Volume 2" command is used to select the volume, here select the volume 2 according to the prompt obtained in the previous step; "Extend Size=50" is used to increase the D disk space. Rong, the source space of this capacity is of course the free space that has been divided. From the result of the command execution "DiskPart successfully expanded the volume", our space expansion of the D drive has been successful.

Finally, select the remaining free space in the "Disk Management Window", click the "Operation → All Tasks → New Logical Drive" command, and assign the drive letter and format operation to the space according to the prompt.
