Need Partition Magic Software for Disk Partition Resizing?

Disk partition including system partition and data partition may need to be resized when its space is unreasonable. For example, you may find on your computer, system partition is nearly full but the other partitions are still empty. When the free space on disk partitions is unreasonable, you may want to use partition magic software to resize the disk partition.

Extend Disk Partition on Windows Vista/7/8/XP

If your computer is running Windows Vista/7/8 OS, you may run Windows built-in Disk Management to extend the disk volume. But it requires that there must be an unallocated disk volume close to the partition you want to extend, so Disk Management is not always helpful. Besides, Disk Management on Windows XP OS doesn’t have this function. Therefore, if you want to extend a disk partition on Windows XP, or if there is no free disk space right close to the partition you want to extend on Windows Vista/7/8, you may need to run third-party partition magic software to resize the disk partition.
