A lot of Windows Server 2008 users have seen the prompt of low disk space in system. Some of them just choose to ignore it for they are not familiar with computer knowledge at all. However, users will find the system is becoming more and more slowly if low disk space occurs in the boot partition. Here are two common situations where users need to extend the boot partition in Windows Server 2008:
 
*–I partitioned my Windows Server 2008 computer hard disk into several different partitions (C, D, E, F and so on). Nowadays, I found my C drive is running out of space and I obviously feel that the speed of computer is much slower than before. I know I need to increase boot partition size for Windows Server 2008 at this time, so I tried DiskPart command line, only to get the error prompt saying that it failed to extend the boot partition in Windows Server 2008. I can do nothing to help since I don’t know other methods for boot partition extension.
 
*–I find the space of my boot partition (partition C) is running out and the speed of Windows Server 2008 is decreasing recently. I realize it is necessary to extend the boot partition in Windows Server 2008. Therefore, the system built-in disk management tool is adopted by me to increase boot partition size for Windows Server 2008. It is very surprising that I opened this tool, only to find the “Extend Volume” function is grayed out. Can I achieve boot partition extension in other ways? What should I do?
 

Operations to Extend the Boot Partition in Windows Server 2008

In fact, it is not surprising that users will encounter above situations. Users can’t use DiskPart command line very well unless they are familiar with professional computer knowledge. Although the system built-in disk management tool is easy for everyone, it has many limitations in managing partitions. Therefore, third-party software turns out to be users’ best choice for boot partition extension. Among them, MiniTool Partition Wizard is a marvelous one. It allows users to increase boot partition size for Windows Server 2008 in just three simple steps.
 

 
1. Enter software and choose the system partition needing to be extended in the main interface.
2. Click “Extend Partition” function in the left action panel to see a pop-up dialogue box and operate according to prompts in that box.
3. Click “Apply” button in the main interface to confirm changes.
