How to Increase Memory of Server 2003

System Partition

System partition of Windows is easy to run out of space since it will save different types of

files, including Windows updates, temporary files, files created on desktop, and programs

which are required to save in system partition. When this partition is in low disk space, to

increase the capacity is undoubtedly a good choice. Well then, how to increase memory

of Server 2003 system partition? Can we do it without any third party software?

When there is contiguous unallocated space on the right side of Server 2003 system

partition, users have chance to do the increase without third party software, but the

system partition should be formatted with NTFS. Please open Server 2003 built-in disk

management console (right click the icon “My Computer” on the desktop, choose

“Manage”, and select “Disk Management”) to see whether there is such an unallocated

space. If there is, take the following steps: click Start button, choose Run and enter

diskpark; then type a series of commands: list disk, select disk n (n is the number of disk

we want to operate), list partition, select partition n (n is the number of system partition),

extend size =n (n is the memory we want to add to system partition and it uses MB as the

unit). Every type ends with pressing on Enter key. After these operations, users can

increase memory of Server 2003 system partition successfully.

However, what if there is no such space or the system partition is formatted with FAT?

Under these situations, users need a piece of third party software, and here we suggest

using MiniTool Partition Wizard Server Edition. Next, let’s see how to enlarge system

partition via this program.
