Built-in Partition Manager for Windows 7 — Disk Management
Disk Management is an extension of the Microsoft Management Console that allows users to fully manage the disk-based hardware recognized by Windows, like hard disk drives (both internal and external ones), flash drives and optical disk drives. Disk Management can be used to partition drives, format drives, extend volumes, shrink volumes, convert dynamic disk to basic, and much more. By clicking a drive or a disk, users clearly know what Disk Management can do to it.
Here is the full list of Disk Management features:
For Basic Disk: | For Basic Volume: |
|
|
For Dynamic Disk: | For Dynamic Volume: |
|
|
See Disk Management is really a useful tool that can satisfy most of our needs on disk partition management. However, sometimes due to some limitations, some features get inactivated. For example, while trying to expand storage space of a volume, «Extend Volume» feature greyed out. Besides, many features should be carried out on condition that all partitions are deleted or the hard drive is formatted, bringing much inconvenience to us.
About Migrate OS to SSD/HD
In today’s era, computer hard drive is not only the medium to store and exchange data, it also provides an entertaining way. Users can download good music tracks and movies to the hard drive so as to listen to or watch them whenever they want.
As the size of files stored on the hard drive is increasing, the running speed and responding speed of computer will be greatly affected. Meanwhile, the appearance of SSD offers users a wonderful experience in speed. So to replace the old hard drive with a new SSD or migrate OS to new SSD becomes the first choice to improve computer performance and speed.
In addition, some large-scale online games are required to download to hard drive. This can easily make the old hard drive run out of space in a short time. The most direct and effective way to deal with this situation is also to replace the old hard drive with a new larger SSD or HD.
In both cases, if users don’t want to reinstall Windows and programs or don’t want to lose anything, we highly suggest using Migrate OS to SSD/HD feature of MiniTool Partition Wizard to do this, which is an easy and safe process.
Below is a detailed MiniTool Partition Wizard tutorial on OS migration.
Note: The migration process of Partition Wizard will destroy all data in users’ target disk, so users would better transfer data to another device or make a backup in advance. Yet, it doesn’t have any effect on the data in the original disk.
Установка Windows на этот диск невозможна: как устранить эту ошибку
Многие сталкивались с такой ошибкой при попытке установки операционных систем семейства Windows на x86-совместимые компьютеры.
Среди самых распространенных причин возникновения такой ошибки – установка на диск, на котором установлена GPT или же установка на ПК, в котором отсутствует UEFI BIOS. Эти явления могут возникать не только на 7й версии этой операционной системы, но и на Windows 10.
Текст ошибки сообщается, что пользователь загрузился с флеш-накопителя с установочным образом в режиме EFI, но на данном диске, куда необходимо необходимо установить систему, находится не соответствующая таблица разделов. Диски могут быть в MBR или в GPT. Елси ранее на ПК была установлена Windows 7, то это одна из причин проблемы.
Если не вдаваться в подробности, то устранить данную проблему можно преобразованием диска из GPT в поддерживаемую Windows MBR. Для этого есть несколько способов.
А вот так выглядит эта ошибка.
Использование командной строки
Очень важно помнить, что данное преобразование подразумевает полное форматирование диска. Прежде чем это делать, стоит подумать, действительно ли это необходимо и есть ли на диске какая либо важная информация
Что есть в версии PRO, но нет в бесплатной
Пользоваться программой несложно, несмотря на многочисленные опции и английский интерфейс. Конечно, MiniTool Partition Wizard Free значительно отличается по функционалу от платной версии. Рассмотрим, что есть такого в PRO, что отсутствует в бесплатном варианте софта:
- Изменение размеров кластера.
- Восстановление потерянных разделов.
- Конвертация из NTFS в FAT.
- Перенос, копирование ОС с диска формата MBR на GPT.
- Изменение серийного, идентификационного номера раздела.
- Преобразование динамического диска в основной и другие манипуляции по управлению динамическими томами.
- Создание загрузочного накопителя.
How Does Partition Wizard Resize Server Partition
When it comes to resizing partition, it includes two aspects, i.e. extend partition and shrink partition. Then how does Partition Wizard performs when dealing with Server 2003 resize Partition? Let’s talk about these two aspects one by one.
Resize Server Partition — Extend:
There are three situations when users extend a partition: adjacent with unallocated space (can be achieved by Disk Management), not adjacent with unallocated space, no unallocated space. Luckily, MiniTool Partition Wizard has put forward the corresponding solutions.
In fact, all these three situations can be perfectly solved by using «Extend Partition». Here are the specific operations:
Step 1. Right click the target partition and select «Extend Partition», then a new window pops up.
Step 2. Drop down the small box to choose which partition you are going to take free space from. Also, you can slide the button to determine how much free space you want. Click «OK» to go back to the main interface.
Step 3. Click «Apply» to execute all the changes you have made.
Resize Server Partition — Shrink:
In some cases, you may want to shrink a partition to release some free space to create a new partition. The shortcoming of Using Disk Management to shrink partition is that Disk Management only allows to shrink at most half of the original partition. What if you want to shrink more? Try MiniTool Partition Wizard Server.
Step 1. Right click the partition you want to shrink and select «Move/Resize». Then a new window pops up.
Step 2. Drag the triangle to the left side to release some partition size and click «OK» to go back to the main interface.
Step 3. Press «Apply» on the top left corner of the main interface to execute all changes.
Note:
- It is recommended to turn off all running applications when you resize a partition.
If the operations involves system partition, you need to restart your computer for data safety. - «Move/Resize» can be used to extend partition when there is unallocated space adjacent to the target partition.
- Based on the location of the unallocated space, you just need to drag the triangle to cover the free space.

Connect SD card via card reader to computer (maybe a previous data backup is necessary). 3. Run MiniTool Partition Wizard Free.

Upgrade Windows Vista to Windows 10
On October 22, 2010, Microsoft ceased sales of retail copies of Windows Vista, and the OEM sales for Vista ceased a year later. As of August 2019, the market share of this operating system has declined to 0.6% of Windows’s total market share.
Nowadays, Windows 10 harvests lots of fans. You may have a plan to upgrade to Windows 10 from Windows Vista.
How to upgrade to Windows 10? There is a simple tutorial:
Step 1: Back up all the data on your computer to an external hard drive at first because upgrading Windows Vista to Windows 10 requires a clean installation.
Note that you need to use the paid version of MiniTool Partition Wizard since the disk you want to copy contains Windows Vista.
Step 2: Upgrade Windows Vista to Windows 10.
Disk Management Is Restricted to Resize Server Partition
As we have referred above, Windows Server’s built-in Disk Management tool is free to manage disks and partitions. However, you get what you paid for. Free means a lot of restrictions. Let’s see how Disk Management performs in resizing partition.
Before Windows Server 2008 (Server 2000, Server 2003 included), Disk Management does not offer the option «Extend Volume» and «Shrink Volume». Below is a screenshot of the available functions listed in Windows Server 2003 Disk Management. We can clearly see that there is no way to resize partition Windows Server 2003.
Since Windows Server 2008, these two features are finally added. However, there are also lots of restrictions. For example, you cannot extend a partition that is not adjacent with an unallocated space. The option «Extend Volume» is grayed out.
So we have to find another way out like trying a third-party Windows Server partition software to break these limits. Is there any reliable partition magic for Server 2008/2008 R2 as well as for Server 2003? Yes, indeed. And MiniTool Partition Wizard Server is such a choice for all Windows Server Users to manage server partitions of Windows Server 2003/2008/2012/2016/2019.

- Simple Volume: A simple volume is a dynamic volume that is made up of disk space from a single dynamic disk.
- Spanned Volume: A spanned volume is a dynamic volume consisting of disk space on more than one physical disk. At least two dynamic disks are required in addition to the startup disk to create a spanned volume.
- Striped Volume (Raid 0): A striped volume is a dynamic volume that stores data in stripes on two or more physical disks. Striped volumes offer the best performance of all the volumes that are available in Windows, but they do not provide fault tolerance.
- Mirrored Volume (Raid 1): A mirrored volume provides an identical twin of the selected volume. All data written to the mirrored volume is written to both volumes, which results in disk capacity of only fifty percent.
- Raid-5 Volume: Three hard drives, which can be IDE, SCSI or mixed structure, are entailed. All disks relevant to RAID-5 volume must be dynamic disks and operating system boot files and system files must be stored on another volume.
