Windows 2003 low disk space
When Windows server 2003 has been used for a while, some problem may come to you like notice of low disk space on 2003 c drive. When reporting low disk space errors, you may check your disk space and found that the disk space is not what totals the size by adding different partitions together. Something may have stolen your disk space and you did not know where you can gain more disk space to c partition. However redistributing disk space of your Windows server 2003 seems reasonable.
How can we rearrange partition size and assign more disk space to c drive since it keeps noticing you that low disk space. Disk Management provided by Windows won’t be able to perform the safe partition resizing job but some partition software like partition magic server is able to do the trick. Shrink some large partition to make free unallocated space without losing files and then redistribute the free space to c drive safely by extending c partition with partition magic server. Here is the detailed tutorial to do the trick http://www.geeksdo.com/windows-server-2003-low-disk-space.html
Windows Server 2003 is an operating system for servers. Microsoft Windows launched it earlier. When server’s boot partition runs out of space, several problems can arise; like the server might operates slowly, there would be no more space for new software and applications and the most dreadful problem; the server may freeze out in launching some application. These problems could be fatal for the company owing the server and its customers.
To overcome this problem, there are two possibilities, first possibility is to reinstall Windows Server 2003 in your server which might result in loosing of data and also a lot of time, Second possibility is to extend the allocated memory of the boot partition. Surely the later possibility is preferable. There are many ways to do so. Windows Server 2003 has a building feature named as “disk manager” which can be employed to extend the allocated memory. In order to use disk manager for resizing your disk, follow the following instructions;
- Double click “My Computer”
- Go to “Manage”
- Go to “Storage”
- Go to “Disk Management”
- Right click on your boot partition
There you will face two options;
1-”Shrink”
2-”Extend”
If you want to shrink the boot partition some unallocated space would be added to it. But if you use the feature of Extent, you will have to delete the other partitions, in order to create some memory, which could be later allocated to the boot partition. In this way you can solve the memory related problems in Windows Server 2003.
In the market some software are available. They can help you in extending your boot partition memory professionally. Like Partition Manager Server, Acronis Disk Director Server, Partition Wizard Server and Partition Assistant Server etc. To know the best partition software, you are free to read server partition software review.
