Why need the partition magic for Server?

It is well known that the Disk Management in Windows Server 2000, 2003 does not have the features of "Extend Volume" and “Shrink Volume”. The significant advantages make it quite challenging for Windows Server users to increase or decrease partition size based on their personal requirements. Especially the Server system is almost full and needs to be extended in time, otherwise, the OS will run slower and slower.

The good news is that the “Extend Volume” and “Shrink Volume” features are added to Disk Management in the subsequent Server OS, like Server 2008, 2012, 2016, etc. However, the “Extend Volume”  option only work when there is unallocated space right adjacent to the target partition, or you will find the Extend Volume greyed out.

As a workaround, you can delete the partition, which is located right behind the to-be-extended partition, to get an adjacent unallocated space, and then extend the partition successfully. Of course, doing that will erase all data on the deleted volume, so a backup is necessary.

To get around such hassles and extend partition more easily, you can turn to the third-party partition manager like Partition Magic. However, this tool cannot run on Windows Vista and later versions, and Server editions of Windows NT, 2000, 2003, etc. Moreover, the Symantec website states, “Sorry, we no longer offer Norton Partition Magic” on October 13, 2011. Today, we would like to introduce another partition magic manager for Windows Server users.
