Resize partition windows

• As of today, Microsoft has announced numerous editions of Windows operating systems but what puzzles me is that all disk management tools on these operating systems since Windows 95 merely provide us with the very basic partition management operations and fail to cover the most common functions, Resize Partition, until the release of Windows 7. Users familiar with Windows 7 built-in disk management tool may know there are still many defects on this tool though we can extend and compress partition with it. Honestly, this tool always fails to resize partition in Windows 7 and we should eventually resort to third-party partition magic like MiniTool Partition Wizard to help resize partition.
  
  Windows 7 inseparable with partition magic
  Microsoft adds a Resize Partition on Windows 7 disk management tool, which, as a matter of fact, still fails to meet out daily partition management requirements irrespective of big defects. The premise of extend partition with built-in disk management tool is that an unallocated is required to locate only behind this target partition. But disk partition status, as we can see, is tightly bound together one after another and we don't have unallocated space for resizing partition. Ok, now we many employ Compress Partition to free an unallocated space, which again turn out to be another disappointment that this unallocated will not locate after our target partition but this source partition. This means that we can not use this unallocated space to extend out desired partition. If we are bound to extend partition with the unallocated, we are to be informed that basic disk will be converted to dynamic disk after this operation and operating system on this partition will be disabled. Therefore, it is almost impossible for us to resize partition in Windows 7 with built-in disk management tool in actual operation while other operating systems including Windows XP and Windows 98 even don't covert such kind of operation though of no use. Does this mean we can not resize partition in Windows 7? Negative, we can employ partition magic MiniTool Partition Wizard to help resize partition in Windows 7.
  
  MiniTool Partition Wizard making up for Windows 7 in resizing partition
  The primary reason for Windows 7's failure to resize partition is that the unallocated space can not be moved to a neighboring position to target partition after analysis above. In view of this situation, MiniTool Partition Wizard partition magic figured out an excellent solution, namely, incorporating Resize Partition and Move Partition. When we resize partition in Windows, the unallocated is not necessarily required to be situated after the target partition. Now let's take a look at how this partition magic resizes partition in Windows.
  
  
  
  When there is no unallocated space adjacent to the target partition, we can employ MiniTool Partition Wizard to shrink partition. This image shows the partition status before resizing where no unallocated can be found. We should drag the borders on this partition handle leftwards or rightwards or enter accurate value in textboxes below according to concrete situation to free an unallocated.
  
  
  
  After resizing, both ends of the partition handle have an unallocated space which can be used for expansion.
  
  In whatever Windows operating systems including Windows 7 which though made some improvement, partition management functions provided by built-in disk management tool are too quite limited to satisfy out daily needs. Partition magic like MiniTool Partition Wizard is still entailed to help manage partition such as resize partition, create partition and delete partition, etc. For more information on MiniTool Partition Wizard, please visit the official website http://www.partitionwizard.com.
