Change NTFS partition size

• When the disk space becomes insufficient, partition operating speed will become slower and slower, impairing efficiency. In this regard, resizing partition would grow quite urgent so as to enhance partition performance. Generally, FAT and NTFS are the most common partition formats for computer with the latter enjoying more powerful functions and popularly welcomed by user. Since the systems build-in disk management tool fails to resize partition, a third-party partition manager such as MiniTool Partition Wizard should be utilized to finish this operation.
  
  Features of NTFS
  - Supported partition size
  NTFS supports maximum size of 2TB while FAT 32 supports maximum partition size of 32 GB under Windows 2000.
  - Reliable file system
  NTFS is a recoverable and reliable file system on which disk reparation is seldom performed.
  - File compression
  NTFS compresses files using a variant of the LZ77 algorithm. Although read–write access to compressed files is often, but not always transparent, Microsoft recommends avoiding compression on server systems and/or network shares holding roaming profiles because it puts a considerable load on the processor. Single-user systems with limited hard disk space can benefit from NTFS compression. The slowest link in a computer is not the CPU but the speed of the hard drive, so NTFS compression allows the limited, slow storage space to be better used, in terms of both space and (often) speed. NTFS compression can also serve as a replacement for sparse files when a program is not able to create files without content as sparse files.
  - NTFS log
  NTFS is a Journalling filesystem and uses the NTFS Log to record metadata changes to the volume. It is a critical functionality of NTFS (a feature that FAT/FAT32 does not provide) for ensuring that its internal complex data structures and indices will remain consistent in case of system crashes, and allow easy rollback of uncommitted changes to these critical data structures when the volume is remounted.
