Expand system partition of Windows 2003 Server easily

When we run Server 2003 for a period of time, we may find the operating system prompt we are running out of disk space on Local Disk (C:).



At this time, what should we do? Should we rebuild the Server? I believe nobody wants to cost a large amount of time to do this task. Most importantly, if we reinstall the operating system, we will be in great risk that data may be lost. The longer Server downtime is, and the less the income is. Well then, how can we solve this problem? Server partition magic can help you.
Methods for Server 2003 partition expansion
Merge one partition with using another partition directly.
Shrink a partition to expand the other partition.
Merging partitions may lead to partition loss although the files will be transferred to another partition, so this method is not good.

We just need drag the partition handle of one partition to get some unallocated space which is used to expand the other partition without deleting partitions and formatting partitions. Besides, all these operations can be previewed so as to avoid mistaken operations. If expanded partition is NTFS partition, we need not reboot the computer after accomplishing Server 2003 partition expansion.
