How Does Partition Wizard Resize Server Partition

When it comes to resizing partition, it includes two aspects, i.e. extend partition and shrink partition. Then how does Partition Wizard performs when dealing with Server 2003 resize Partition? Let’s talk about these two aspects one by one.

Resize Server Partition — Extend:

There are three situations when users extend a partition: adjacent with unallocated space (can be achieved by Disk Management), not adjacent with unallocated space, no unallocated space. Luckily, MiniTool Partition Wizard has put forward the corresponding solutions. 

In fact, all these three situations can be perfectly solved by using «Extend Partition». Here are the specific operations:

Step 1. Right click the target partition and select «Extend Partition», then a new window pops up.

Step 2. Drop down the small box to choose which partition you are going to take free space from. Also, you can slide the button to determine how much free space you want. Click «OK» to go back to the main interface.

Step 3. Click «Apply» to execute all the changes you have made.

Resize Server Partition — Shrink:

In some cases, you may want to shrink a partition to release some free space to create a new partition. The shortcoming of Using Disk Management to shrink partition is that Disk Management only allows to shrink at most half of the original partition. What if you want to shrink more? Try MiniTool Partition Wizard Server.

Step 1. Right click the partition you want to shrink and select «Move/Resize». Then a new window pops up.

Step 2. Drag the triangle to the left side to release some partition size and click «OK» to go back to the main interface.

Step 3. Press «Apply» on the top left corner of the main interface to execute all changes.

Note:

1. It is recommended to turn off all running applications when you resize a partition.
   If the operations involves system partition, you need to restart your computer for data safety.
2. «Move/Resize» can be used to extend partition when there is unallocated space adjacent to the target partition.
3. Based on the location of the unallocated space, you just need to drag the triangle to cover the free space.

How to Migrate OS to SSD/HD

Step 1. Launch MiniTool Partition Wizard to get its main interface.

Step 2. Click on Migrate OS to SSD/HD in the toolbar.

Step 3. Choose a right method to migrate system disk and click Next.

Option A. To Replace the System Disk

Firstly, please select the target disk to migrate system disk to and click Next.

Then, choose a copy option. Alternatively, users can manually edit partition size by inputting exact partition size in MB, GB, or TB.

Tricks:

• Align partitions to 1MB could help improve performance for SSD and advanced format disks, so please keep it checked if users are using such devices.
• Checking Use GUID Partition Table for the target disk makes it possible to use all space of hard disk larger than 2TB, but UEFI boot should be enabled in BIOS.
• MiniTool Partition Wizard Free Edition doesn’t support migrating OS on MBR disk using GUID Partition table for the target disk.
• If users want to migrate Windows which is installed on a GPT disk, they will not see the option Use GUID Partition Table for the target disk.

Next, read a popup note and click Finish to continue.

At last, click Apply button to execute pending operations and tap Yes in pop-up prompt window to allow changes.

Option B. To Migrate Windows Only

Here, users also need to select the target disk to transfer Windows 10 to and click Next.

Then, select a copy option and click Next.

Next, read the boot note and click Finish.

At last, click Apply button in the toolbar to execute pending operations and tap Yes in the pop-up prompt window to allow changes.

Add Boot Menu

Normally, it is required to burn an .iso file to an USB flash drive or CD/DVD disk to create a bootable media. However, MiniTool ShadowMaker puts forward an easier way to achieve this aim. By simply adding MiniTool ShadowMaker to the boot menu, you can enter the MiniTool Recovery Environment which will start Windows PE and allow full system restore without a bootable media.

How to Add Boot Menu

Step 1. Enter Add Boot Menu under Tools.

Step 2. Select Add Boot Menu and confirm the operation.

Step 3. Wait for the operation to complete.

Note

When MiniTool Recovery Environment is added to Windows start-up menu, you can choose to enter Windows OS or choose to enter MiniTool Recovery Environment.

How to Delete Boot Menu

If you no longer need MiniTool Recovery Environment, you can delete the boot menu.

Step 1. Enter Add Boot Menu under Tools.

Step 2. Select Delete Boot Menu and confirm the operation.

The deletion will be finished quickly.

Universal Restore

Restoring system to original hardware or identical hardware is easy. However, if you try to restore system to dissimilar hardware, the restored system is likely to fail to boot. This is because the new hardware is incompatible with the critical drivers included in the system. Thus, the Universal Restore feature can help to install and update drivers so as to solve some incompatible problems.

MiniTool Universal Restore technology enables you to restore your system to any available machine. If you are trying to restore system to a computer with dissimilar processor, motherboard, or chipset, MiniTool Universal Restore is useful. This utility will find and install necessities for devices that are critical for the current operating system to start up.

Note

To restore Windows backup to a different computer, ensure that you have the bootable edition of MiniTool ShadowMaker created by MiniTool Media Builder.

Then, use feature to restore the system image to the hard drive of crashed computer. Next, use Universal Restore to finish the incompatibility repair.

How to Carry out Universal Restore

Step 1. Enter WinPE created by MiniTool ShadowMaker.

Step 2. Under Tools, select Universal Restore.

Step 3. MiniTool Universal Restore will automatically detect and list the operating systems installed on the hard drive for you to choose.

Step 4. Select the operating system to be restored and press Restore button. When the process is finished, you can exit WinPE and boot Windows on dissimilar hardware successfully.

When Do You Need to Copy System?

When mentioning system migration, you should know that it refers to making a wholly and exactly same system clone to another hard drive. This system copy migration should contain not only your Windows operating system but also the installed applications and the system reserved files.

As a matter of fact, there are many situations needing to copy system to another hard drive. For example:

Upgrade to new a larger hard drive: Usually, when the computer has been used for a long time and a lot of files will be saved on the hard drive. Thus, you may get a low disk space warning and the performance of the computer will become worse and worse. One way improve computer performance is to reinstall the operating system and another way is to copy system to another large hard drive without losing any personal data.

Backup system data: If you want to do a system backup, you can use a piece of Windows backup software or copy system to another disk. When your system can’t boot, you can use the copy to boot your computer on the same computer.

Migrate system to SSD for better performance: As is well known, the SSD has a better read and write speed, thus you can migrate system to SSD for better performance.

However, do you know how to copy system with ease and not loss any data during the system clone process?

Upgrade Windows Vista to Windows 10

On October 22, 2010, Microsoft ceased sales of retail copies of Windows Vista, and the OEM sales for Vista ceased a year later. As of August 2019, the market share of this operating system has declined to 0.6% of Windows’s total market share.

Nowadays, Windows 10 harvests lots of fans. You may have a plan to upgrade to Windows 10 from Windows Vista. 

How to upgrade to Windows 10? There is a simple tutorial:

Step 1: Back up all the data on your computer to an external hard drive at first because upgrading Windows Vista to Windows 10 requires a clean installation.

Note that you need to use the paid version of MiniTool Partition Wizard since the disk you want to copy contains Windows Vista.

Step 2: Upgrade Windows Vista to Windows 10.

Limitations in Windows 7 Disk Management

Windows 7 became generally available on October 22, 2009. Years later, many of you are still using this version. There are both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows 7 for your choice. 32-bit and 64-bit refer to the way a computer’s processor (also called a CPU), handles information.

In 2003, 64-bit CPUs were introduced to the mainstream personal computer arena, while 32-bit was popular previously. The 64-bit version of Windows can handle large amounts of random access memory (RAM) more effectively than a 32-bit system. To know about the differences between 32-bit and 64-bit in Windows 7, please read the introduction of Windows 7.

To make full use of Windows 7 hard disks, you need to manage them according to your individual needs. In general, you can apply the Windows 7 snap-in Disk Management tool to partition Windows 7 32/64-bit system. But there are so many limitations in it.

For instance, in the basic disk, you can only extend a primary partition if there is adjacent unallocated space right behind the target partition, or extend a logical partition if there is adjacent free space right behind it (find out what caused extend volume greyed out). Otherwise, the basic disk will be converted into a dynamic disk.

In addition, some conversion functions can cause data loss, for example, conversion between MBR disk and GPT disk and converting dynamic disk to basic disk request you to delete all partitions in the target disk. All these limitations may cause inconvenience to you at any time.

Thus, do you know how to partition Windows 7 64-bit system with ease?

About Partition Recovery

Hard disk partitions may get lost or disappear due to one of these factors: mistaken deletion, virus attack, wrong ghost, sudden power outage, incorrect partitioning, and so on. In these cases, Partition Recovery is quite a good solution to dealing with partition loss, recovering lost partitions and data altogether.

 MiniTool Partition Wizard is a partition recovery software that can recover lost/deleted partitions as long as new partition hasn’t been created. The tutorial below shows detailed steps on how to recover lost/deleted partitions easily.

Note: MiniTool Partition Wizard Free Edition does not support this function. To use this function, users need to buy a professional edition or more advanced edition. View Edition Comparison to know more.

Как пользоваться MiniTool Partition Wizard?

В том случае, если пользователь устанавливает на свой компьютер или ноутбук русифицированную версию программы, то чаще всего проблем с тем, как использовать данную утилиту для решения задач, у него не возникает.

Если была установлена английская версия этого программного обеспечения, тогда вполне возможно, что для того, чтобы разобраться во всех возможностях и функциях этого программного обеспечения, потребуется какое-то количество времени.

Для того чтобы не тратить слишком много времени для знакомства с английской версией программы, можно воспользоваться этой инструкцией.

Установив английскую версию программы и только начиная пользоваться её инструментами, пользователю лучше всего скопировать важные данные на диск или флеш-карту, которая не будет принимать участие в операциях.

Стоит отметить, что в случае необходимости пользователь, начавший пользоваться этим софтом, может скачать на сайте разработчика программы загрузочный образ ISO. После скачивания этого образа пользователь получает возможность создавать виртуальные диски или флешки.

Увеличиваем размер диска

В том случае, если необходимо увеличить размер диска, то утилита может это сделать за счёт другого тома. Стоит отметить, что чаще всего увеличивают раздел системного диска для того, чтобы появилась возможность устанавливать в этот раздел важные файлы и программы.

Выполняем форматирование SD-карты

Утилита позволяет проводить форматирование SD-карты, переведя её в формат FAT32. Так как стандартные инструменты операционной системы Windows сделать этого не позволяют, то единственным вариантом является использование программы MiniTool Partition Wizard.

Стоит отметить, что аналогичным способом можно форматировать и жёсткие диски компьютеров или ноутбуков.

About Migrate OS to SSD/HD

In today’s era, computer hard drive is not only the medium to store and exchange data, it also provides an entertaining way. Users can download good music tracks and movies to the hard drive so as to listen to or watch them whenever they want.

As the size of files stored on the hard drive is increasing, the running speed and responding speed of computer will be greatly affected. Meanwhile, the appearance of SSD offers users a wonderful experience in speed. So to replace the old hard drive with a new SSD or migrate OS to new SSD becomes the first choice to improve computer performance and speed.

In addition, some large-scale online games are required to download to hard drive. This can easily make the old hard drive run out of space in a short time. The most direct and effective way to deal with this situation is also to replace the old hard drive with a new larger SSD or HD.

In both cases, if users don’t want to reinstall Windows and programs or don’t want to lose anything, we highly suggest using Migrate OS to SSD/HD feature of MiniTool Partition Wizard to do this, which is an easy and safe process.

Below is a detailed MiniTool Partition Wizard tutorial on OS migration.

Note: The migration process of Partition Wizard will destroy all data in users’ target disk, so users would better transfer data to another device or make a backup in advance. Yet, it doesn’t have any effect on the data in the original disk.

How Does DOS Manage Disk and Partition?

In this part, we will show you what the DOS can do to manage the disk and partition.

As a matter of fact, the DOS can manage the disk and partition by imputing the required command. For example, it can input the following disk operation commands.

• Format a hard drive. Formatting a hard drive is a way to release more free space.
• Unformat. The unformat command is used to undo the formatting on a hard drive performed by the MS-DOS format command.
• Chkdsk command. The chkdsk command often referred to as check disk, is used to identify and correct certain hard drive errors.
• Diskcopy command. The disk command is used to copy the entire contents of one floppy disk to another.
• Label command. The label command is used to manage the partition label of a disk. For example, it can create, change, or delete a label of the partition.
• Vol command. The Vol command shows the volume label and a serial number of a specified disk, assuming this information exists.
• Scandisk command. It is used to check whether the disk fat tables, directory structures, or the file system has problems and fix the problems if they have.
• Defrag command. It is used to defrag the disk so as to remove the fragments. The defrag command is the command line version of Microsoft’s Disk Defragmenter.
• Sys command. The sys command is used to copy the MS-DOS system files and command interpreter to a disk. The sys command is used most often to create a simple bootable disk or hard drive.

In the above part, you can see that the DOS can do some operations to the disk and partition by inputting the related commands.

However, imputing command to manage disk and partition is difficult and complicated since it is easy to encounter some problems.

Thus, is there any partition magic DOS can run under DOS environment? The answer is positive.
