You Can Extend C Drive in Following Cases

Most users never think that they need to extend C drive before they get low disk space warning on the partition. In fact, even if you don’t receive low disk space alert, you can also resize C drive on Windows Server 2003 in some situations. Taking some cases for example,

Case 1: The C drive on Windows 2003 has been showing red bar for several months. I found there is a little free disk space on C drive, but I didn’t care much about it. Recently, I found that my computer runs more and more slowly. I have tried to cleanup disk and remove cookies, but the computer still runs quite slowly. How can I speed up my computer?

Well, a lot of factors can affect the speed of computer, while C drive lacking of disk space is a possible reason. Although Windows still doesn’t pop up low disk space alert on C drive, you can still extend the C drive when there is a little free disk space. If C drive has enough free disk space, it may help your Server keeps a good performance and run fast.

Case 2: Windows pops up low disk space alert on C drive on my SBS 2003 Server. I have tried run Diskpart command to get C drive extended, but I receive another message like "The volume you have selected may not be extended. Please select another volume and try again". Is there any method that I can extend system partition on Windows SBS 2003?
