Released a long time before Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2003 is equipped with no related function in the system built-in disk management tool to resize primary partition. Therefore, both partition extension and partition shrinking are difficult tasks for Windows Server 2003 users. Because of that, it really becomes a headache for Windows Server 2003 users to shrink or enlarge primary partition in Windows Server 2003. As for why Windows Server 2003 primary partition extension is needed, we will give two situations:
 
Situation one: I am an ordinary user of Windows Small Business Server 2003 R2 Standard edition and recently, I am stuck in a terrible situation. I find low disk space alert occurs in partition C (also known as primary partition in my computer). I know many significant files are stored here, so I dare not do anything to improve the situation. But I know there must be some safe ways to work that out. What should I do?
 
Situation two: the local partition C (primary partition) of my Windows Server 2003 computer is running out of space nowadays. I opened the built-in disk management tool, but I found no function is suitable to enlarge primary partition in Windows Server 2003. So I tried DISKPART later. But disappointedly, I got an error saying that I can’t extend primary partition. What else can I do now?
