How to resize Windows Server 2003 64-bit partitions? This is a frequent question. More and more web administrators prefer Windows Server 2003 64-bit because of its swift performance, latest technology, of course including the development of physical hardware. For server users, resize partition probably is their daily operation for maintenance. So which software should be taken advantage of, is a very useful information for server users. Now, let me make a comparison between Windows Server 2003 64-bit built-in Disk Management Tool and a third-party software - EASEUS Partition Master Server Edition.

Use Windows Server 2003 64-bit built-in Disk Management Tool to resize partition, for example, you want to enlarge D drive 50MB.

Step1: Backup all your data on E drive, and then delete E drive.

Step2: click start> program> accessories> command prompt, and in turns type "Diskpart", "List volume", "Select volume 2", "Extend Size=50".

Notes: If delete E drive will cause all the data on it loss, so before deleting must backup data. To extend D drive, you just can delete the partition next to D: , as we deleting E drive.

Use EASEUS Partition Master resizes partition, you will not need to do "step1, step2, then step3…" exactly and precisely like what you have done through Windows Server 2003 64-bit disk management tool. As the Figure below shows, you may resize or move the partition by dragging the disk map.

On a disk map, current size of the partition is displayed on the top of the dialog box. The map also depicts the used and unused space within the partition and the free space surrounding the partition (if any exists). The minimum and maximum sizes that you can resize a partition on Windows Server 2003 64-bit appear below the map. The most attractive feature is that it can resize your partitions relied on the free space without destroying data.

Overall, I have to say Windows Server 2003 64-bit built-in Disk Management Tool is incompetent for server users, probably cause the data loss is the most vital and crucial drawback.
