Partition Magic for Server 2000

Most of the users know that when a new game is released, the company will give the minimum and the optimal computer configuration for the game. If the computer cannot satisfy the requirement, the game will be unable to run in the computer. Some partition magic also equally has given computer configuration requirement. If the Windows Server 2000 cannot satisfy the requirement, even high-performance partition magic software with high price will not be able to run on it. Therefore, one kind of partition magic for server 2000 that can run in the minimum specification of Windows Server 2000 is needed.

The partition management software that can run with very low hardware configuration
Windows Server 2000 is the first server operating system widely used. Although Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008 have exceeded Windows Server 2000 in many aspects, Windows Server 2000 has not been obsolete in users because of its low requirement for configuration. Because of the cost, some users still choose to use Windows Server 2000 to complete certain task, especially small size enterprise. When choosing suitable partition magic software for Windows Server 2000, we have to consider the hardware configuration. Windows Server 2000 supports 4 CPU in one computer, and the minimum RAM is 128MB, the maximum 4GB, 2GB hard disk that has at least 1GB free space. This kind of configuration is common in PC nowadays. To run large software under such configuration is impossible. However, MiniTool Partition Wizard can do this.

Different from other partition magic software, MiniTool Partition Wizard has no strict requirement over computer configuration. Even in the lowest configuration of Windows Server 2000, MiniTool Partition Wizard can still run perfectly. The program files only occupy several MB space after installation. In addition, some kinds of server 2000 partition magic can only run in personal operating system. MiniTool Partition Wizard has broken through this limitation. No matter Windows XP, Windows 7 or Windows Server 2000, Windows Server 2003, and Windows Sever 2008, MiniTool Partition Wizard can run perfectly on them. It is deserved the name of server partition magic.

Choose any partition in the main interface and the “Operation” menu in the left has listed all the functions about partition, including create partition, format partition, merge partition, etc. And some functions like setting primary partition or active partition have not been listed.

When choosing the disk, the “Operation”menu shows the functions for disk. Compared to other partition management software, MiniTool Partition Wizard provides more functions. Some functions for disk have not been listed, either. Please visit the official website http://www.partitionwizard.com for more information about MiniTool Partition Wizard.

How to Manage Hard Drive Partitions

Every user knows there are only two ways to manage hard drive partitions if we do not employ the third party partition magic: use Windows built-in disk management tool and use Windows Command Prompt. However, it is not easy to manage hard drive partitions with employing these two methods. Although Windows built-in disk management tool can help us accomplish a part of hard drive partitions management, the great majority of hard drive partitions management can not be realized. Furthermore, it is at great risk to manage hard drive partitions with command prompt though it can realize most hard drive partitions management. Once we operate mistakenly, a large number of important data may be lost, which will result in unnecessary losses and troubles. Therefore, to realize good hard drive partitions management, the third party partition magic is strongly recommended. In selecting partition magic, MiniTool Partition Wizard is the best choice.

As we talk about MiniTool Partition Wizard, I believe many users who understand partition magic know this partition magic. It is a piece of professional partition magic developed by the famous software development corporation MiniTool Solution Ltd.. With its all-sided functions, we can realize almost all hard drive partitions management. Therefore, it has got so much public praise. Seeing here, some users who do not understand this partition magic may think operations of partition magic must be very complex now that it has so powerful functions. In fact, it is extremely easy to operate this partition magic. Next, let me demonstrate how to perform hard drive partitions management with this partition magic to make users know its operations intuitively.

First, download it from its official website http://www.partitionwizard.com. Then, install and run it to get the interface. This is the main interface of this partition magic. Every user knows extending system partition is the most troublesome and most dangerous operation when we perform hard drive partitions management. Today, I just demonstrate how to extend system partition with this partition magic. To extend system partition, we need to select the system partition, and then click “Move/Resize” button to enter the next interface, drag triangles or input desired value to lengthen the partition handle to extend system partition and then click “OK” to go back to the main interface:

The preview effect of this partition magic shows the system partition has been extended, but we still need to click “Apply” to perform all previous operations.

After seeing the above demonstration, users, I believe, will not think it is difficult to operate this partition magic. Actually, besides easy operations, this partition magic has many other advantages. For example, it can help us solve almost all problems of hard drive partitions management. Therefore, I hope every user would download this partition magic as early as possible to perform hard drive partitions management.

Expand C Drive Space

Many computer users upgrade Windows XP into Window 7 for Windows 7 becomes mere and more popular. But they may meet such a difficulty that c drive is short of space during installing. Why can’t we install Windows 7 on computer while Windows XP is possible? The reason is so easy. Windows 7 has much more system files than Windows XP. That is to say, we need allocate more space to c drive when installing Windows 7. if c drive space just meets for installing Windows XP, it can not reach the lowest configuration of Windows 7. At this time, we need MiniTool Partition Wizard, a partition magic, to help us expand c drive space. It will be the most effective and fast tool to help you upgrade operating system.

According to official prompts of Windows 7, c drive space needed to install Windows 7 should not be lower than 25G. If not, we can not install operating system successfully. Users who comprehend Windows 7 know Windows 7 itself just has about 7G of files. The main reason to require such large disk space is that users need to install many utility programs in daily life. However, authorized edition Windows XP only has the capacity of 2G. In order to save disk space, many users do not leave enough space for posterior operating system upgrade when installing Windows XP, which leaves hidden troubles for installing Windows 7. So, how can we solve this problem? Now, let’s see how MiniTool Partition Wizard helps users solve the difficulty of c drive deficient.

Before, we have talked about that there needs more space for installing Windows 7 compared with installing Windows XP. If users find c drive space can not reach the lowest system allocation requirement, they should adjust the size of c drive to avoid wasting precious time because of failure to install system. However, for Windows XP users, disk management tools of operating system can’t help users expand c drive space. They need partition magic MiniTool Partition Wizard to help them solve this problem. When using this software, you do not have to worry about that original Windows XP is damaged. The reason is that MiniTool Partition Wizard is designed for the premise of bringing no harm to partition. With it, users can expand the capacity of c drive easily, and then install Windows 7 on c drive successfully.

A great majority of users who use Windows XP are individual or home users, and this software is free for these two kinds of users, so MiniTool Partition Wizard is their best choice. Users can download and use it directly through visiting its official website: http://www.partitionwizard.com. Pay attention: do not install it on the partition needed to be operated. After installing successfully, users can resize c drive.
First, run MiniTool Partition Wizard, and then enter into its main interface.

In the main interface, select c drive, and then click “Move/Resize” at tool bar. Then we will enter into the adjusting interface of partition capacity.

In the interface, users can adjust the size of c drive through changing the length of rectangle stick or inputting exact number directly. Attention: expanding the capacity of c drive must be at the premise of existing unallocated disk space near c drive. If there is no unallocated disk space near c drive, please resize the neighboring partitions.

After going back to the main interface, we can see c drive space has been expanded, but this is just a preview. If you are sure to get this effect, please click “Apply”. MiniTool Partition Wizard will help you adjust the capacity of c drive.

Through the above demonstration, users can find the essence of using MiniTool Partition Wizard to solve the difficulty of c drive deficient is to use this partition magic to expand c drive space. We can also find it is so easy to operate MiniTool Partition Wizard. If you are worried about impossibility to install Windows 7 because of c drive deficiency, try using MiniTool Partition Wizard which can offer you the easiest and the most effective solution.

Copy GPT Disk with Minitool Partition Wizard

As is known to all, GUID Partition Table (GPT) is a standard for the layout of the partition table on a physical hard disk. Although it forms a part of the Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) standard (Intel’s proposed replacement for the PC BIOS), it is also used on some BIOS systems because of the limitations of MBR partition tables, which restrict a disk partition’s size to a maximum of 2.2 TB (2.2 × 1012 bytes). GPT allows for a maximum disk and partition size of 9.4 ZB (9.4 × 1021 bytes).

Since the built in disk management tool of Windows operating system fails to resize GPT disk partition, here I would like recommending user MiniTool Partition Wizard which is developed by MiniTool Solution Ltd. with powerful functions such as resize partition, merge partition, create partition, delete partition, format partition, convert partition format, copy partition, wipe partition, etc. Furthermore, it runs perfectly under Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows 2003, Windows server 2003, Windows XP, Windows 7 and Windows 2008 and supports FAT12, FAT16, FAT32, NTFS4 and NTFS5.

Download MiniTool Partition Wizard at MiniTool Partition Wizard Download Center and then install it to computer. Note: never install MiniTool Partition Wizard to partition which is to be deleted or operated.

Download this software and run it. This is the main interface of MiniTool Partition Wizard, please select the GPT partition and then click “Copy” to activate next step. Select an unallocated space to store copied partition data and then click “Next”: In this interface, set partition properties by dragging the scroll bar or directly entering values in the textboxes, then click “Finish”. And finally, click “Apply” to execute pending operation. Thus, the partition would be perfectly copied with MiniTool Partition Manager.

How to Do Comprehensive Partition Management

Disk partition management is very important for both server managers and common computer users. Good partition management can optimize performance of operating systems and disks. Mentioning managing disk partitions under Windows, some users who used Windows 2000 and former operating systems may think aboutdownloading Partition Magic 6.0 to manage partitions. Indeed, it was an excellent partition manager at that time. With using Partition Magic 6.0, we can realize perfect management functions under Windows 2000, Windows NT, Windows 98 and other Windows operating systems, for example, create partition, delete partition, format partition, and resize partition and merge partition without data loss or data damage. However, downloading Partition Magic 6.0 for Windows XP and other later operating systems makes no sense, because Partition Magic 6.0 does not support Windows XP and other later operating systems. More importantly, there is no Partition Magic 6.0 supporting dynamic disk management on the internet. To manage operating systems or dynamic disks of Windows XP and later operating systems better, I recommend MiniTool Partition Wizard, an excellent dynamic disk manager developed by MiniTool Solution Ltd..

Those users who have used MiniTool Partition Wizard know this partition magic offers us powerful functions. It can help us realize not only all functions Partition Magic 6.0 offers but also other advanced functions, such as recover partitions, rebuild MBR, and wipe the data in partitions. More commendably, the latest edition of MiniTool Partition Wizard can be compatible with dynamic disk, Windows 2000 and other later operating systems perfectly. Thus it can be seen, MiniTool Partition Wizard is worth being called an omnipotent partition magic and dynamic disk manager. If you want to know more information about this partition magic or download it, please visit its official website.

As our demands for disk use and flexibility of management unceasingly increase, dynamic disk is used in more and more situations. At this time, dynamic disk management will become a hot topic we care about most. Compared with basic disk management, dynamic disk management of Windows operating system has been enhanced a lot in functions and convenience. However, these improvements still can not meet our extremely management demands. Aiming at this problem, MiniTool Solution Ltd. released the latest MiniTool Partition Wizard edition which comprehensively supports dynamic disk to help users manage dynamic disk better.

MiniTool Partition Wizard supports all types of dynamic volumes. Besides, it can perform a perfect management for all dynamic volumes, and it is very easy, safe, and reliable to manage dynamic disk with this dynamic disk manager. After we download this dynamic disk manager from its official website, we should install it on our computer. With running this dynamic disk manager, we enter the main interface. In the display list of this interface, we can see all partition conditions and disk conditions of our computer. To understand the powerful dynamic disk management functions of MiniTool Partition Wizard, please select any dynamic volume. At this time, there appear perfect functions of this dynamic disk manager in “Operations” action panel, such as create volume, delete volume, format volume, move volume, resize volume, and change volume cluster size.

Finally, Partition magic 6.0 is upgraded to Partition magic 8.0, and Symantec stopped developing Partition Magic in 2003. Later, there appear many up-rising stars among which MiniTool Partition Wizard is one of the software acquiring most concern. It inherits all advantages of Partition Magic 6.0 and adds many non-ignorable advantages. If you want to download a partition magic to help you manage partitions, I recommend MiniTool Partition Wizardwhich has more comprehensive functions and easier operations to perform excellent managements.

How to Rebuild MBR with 3rd Party Software

Most user have encountered that PCs refused to boot. MBR damage is a common cause. Most computer users know little about hard disk. In the past, actually, Rebuild MBR is privilege of professional staffs who have profound hard disk knowledge. How could common users rebuild MBR?

MBR is located in the first sector of physical hard disk. This sector is called Master Boot Sector (MBR Sector). The 512 Bytes MBR sector includes 446 Bytes system boot program, and 64 Bytes Disk Partition Table, and ends with “55AA” sign. Generally we can rebuild MBR with WinHex. WinHex is an advanced 16 hex editor special for computer forensic, data recovery, low level data processing, IT security, and other daily emergencies. Professional disk servicemen are using WinHex to restore disk. This picture shows entire 512 Bytes MBR. The blue zone is the 64 Bytes disk partition table, including 4 partition tables. Every partition table is 16 Bytes and includes partition master sign, system sign, start and end cylinder number, sector number, head number, number of front sectors and number of this partition sectors.

MBR damage usually is because of errors in Disk Partition Table which make boot program unable to find system partition. With familiar operations, we can use WinHex to rebuild MBR easily. Analyze the 16 Bytes in the first partition table: 80 01 01 00 0C FE FF FF 3F 00 00 00 41 29 54 02. The first 80 is the activate sign of partition, which means system is able to boot. If it is 0, it means inactive partition. The second 01 means head number. The third 01 means the start sector number. The fourth 00, means start cylinder number. Through analysis, we can master all information about partition. However, this way is too difficult for common users. Using MiniTool Partition Wizard that has graphical interfaces to rebuild MBR is a much simpler and faster way.

MiniTool Partition Wizard is professional partition magic that helps users finish all kinds of partition management tasks such as create partition, merge partition, recover partition, and dynamic disk management, etc. Rebuild MBR is just one part of its comprehensive functions. MiniTool Partition Wizard rebuilds MBR in a very short time. It saves time and money for users. It is very easy use rebuild MBR with Minitool partition wizard. First of all, select the disk to rebuild MBR in disk list, and then click “Rebuild MBR” in “Operations” zone at left. And then click “Apply” button after making sure of operations.

Using MiniTool Partition manager  to rebuild MBR costs very little time. Compared with WinHex, MiniTool Partition Wizard improves efficiency of rebuilding MBR. Therefore, if your computer needs Rebuild MBR, MiniTool Partition Wizard is the best choice for you.
