Use the Windows Xp/server 2003 Disk Management feature to complete the partition space "increase capacity"

Disk Management is a common task when you use a computer, and the Disk management tasks for Windows Server are provided to users in the form of a set of disk management applications, which are located in the Computer Management console, including Cha, Disk Defragmenter, Disk Defragmenter, and so on.

Disk storage is not only a large capacity, fast access, but also can achieve random access, is the implementation of virtual storage hardware necessary. Therefore, in http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/7387.html "> Modern computer system, the disk memory is configured, and it is mainly used for storing files. The primary tasks of disk storage management are:

• Allocate the necessary storage space for the file;

• Increase utilization of disk storage space;

• Increase I/O speed to disk to improve file system performance;

• Take the necessary redundancy measures to ensure the reliability of the file system.

Partitioning is the way to add extra space for a partition when the space is not enough to meet the needs of the application. Many friends encounter this situation, the general use of PartitionMagic completed. In practice, however, users with Windows Xp/server 2003 can fully use the system's built-in disk management capabilities to complete the partition's space "capacity". Here are some examples of how to explore.

I. Draw free space

Suppose you need to increase the space of 50MB for D disk Now, this space needs to be extracted from E disk. The first thing to do is to divide the 50MB space from the E disk. The process of this operation is as follows:

Start the Disk Management window by transferring all the data from E disk to another partition, and then clicking start → run, enter diskmgmt.msc, and then return. Select the E disk and right-click and select "Delete this logical drive" from the shortcut menu that pops up. Click the Yes button in the pop-up prompt to continue. After the operation is complete, you will receive the same amount of free space in the disk 0 column as the deletion partition.

Second, to increase the capacity of the zoning

Note that at this point the D disk is 855MB, and now we're going to add 50MB to it. Click start → programs → attachments → command prompt, and in the open window, enter "Diskpart", "List volume", "Select Volume 2", "Extend size=50" four commands.

Where the "Diskpart" command is used to invoke the DOS Disk Management program, "diskpart/?" command to see the Chinese help for this command under DOS. The "List Volume" is used to display the details of all the disks on the system, and to know the volume number of the desired extended partition. Here you can see that the D disk is "2"; the Select Volume 2 command is used to select volumes, where the volume 2 is selected according to the prompts given in the previous step, and "Extend size=50" is used to increase the capacity of D disk space, which is of course the space of freedom to divide. From the results of the command execution "DiskPart successfully expanded the volume", we have succeeded in increasing space for D disk.

Finally, in the Disk Management window, select the remaining free space, click the "operations → all tasks → new logical drive" command, according to the prompts for the space assigned drive letter and format operation.
