Compared with Windows Server 2003 built-in disk management tool, Windows Server 2008 built-in disk management tool is added with some new functions, like “Extend Volume” and “Shrink Volume”. Therefore, Windows Server 2008 users can complete Server 2008 partition resizing in some situations. Nevertheless, the 2 functions have defects in Server 2008 partition resizing. Firstly, both of them work only when target partition is NTFS partition. Secondly, the function “Extend Volume” can help extend Server 2008 partition only when there is unallocated space behind and adjacent to the partition users want to extend. As a result, users have to resort to server partition magic if they want to resize partition in Server 2008 better.
