Partition Magic Server Manager to Move Partition Windows 2008

Although Server now has the 2022 edition, some companies are still running Server 2008. Compared to Windows Server 2000 or 2003, Windows 2008 has much stronger functions on disk management. One of the greatest progress is that the snap-in Disk Management of Windows 2008 can extend and shrink volume, which makes the management more flexible and convenient.

Why can't I move partition?

However, progress does not mean it will not have defects anymore. So does the Server 2008. The extending feature mentioned above has a limit: it can be operated only if there is an unallocated space right behind the target volume.

If not, users must delete the right contiguous drive or reinstall the system to have a larger C drive because the Disk Management can not move any unallocated volume to the location we want.

Therefore, moving partition in Server 2008 is the first question that needs to be solved. Then how to realize it? This post will give a nice choice.

To extend drive C to make your computer perform better, you have released 30.9GB from D volume. But the unallocated space generated does not locate in the proper position, which leads that merging it into drive C could not be accomplished.
