Even though Windows server 2008 is much improved than its former versions, its built-in
disk management tool still fails to meet users' requirement of partition management. It cannot realize certain advanced partition management operations like
change cluster size,
move partition,
merge partition, or
convert file system, etc. This tool is added with new functions of shrink partition and
