How do you extend system partition space when there is a low disk space problem?

What have you done to remove this low disk space problem?In my experiences, the ways for you to resolve this low disk space problem could be different according to your different conditions:* If there is too unnecessary files or programs stored on this C partition, clean them all up to free some free space.* If there is enough free space on other partition, like D, E or F partitions, you can open Disk Management, delete or shrink the partition with free space and add the free space to your C partition there.* If the free space is not adjacent to your C partition, you also can use a partition resizing tool to extend this partition, like GParted, IM-Magic Partition Resizer Free and Active Partition Master, etc.* But, if there is no any free space left on the same physical drive, just buy a larger one to replace the old one.No matter what your conditions are, just save all partition data on other places in case of data loss.Read more information here:partition-magic-server-2003.blogspot.com/2013/11/resize-server-2003-partition-free.html

How do you move a partition?

Move/Resize Partition falls into to three scenarios:Extend PartitionShrink PartitionMove PartitionScenario 1: Extend PartitionIf there is an unallocated space neighboring to the partition to be extended, you can direct extend partition.1. Launch MilfordSoft Partition Star.2. Select and right click the partition to be extended, click "Move/Resize" from the drop-down menu. (If the unallocated space is behind the target partition, drag the right end of the partition handle rightwards to the largest extend; If the unallocated space is before the target partition, drag the left end of the partition handle leftwards to the largest extend). After that, click "OK".3. Click "Apply" to execute pending operation.If no unallocated space for extending partition is available.1. Launch MilfordSoft Partition Star.2. Shrink an existing partition to get an unallocated space for extending partition.Example 1: If the existing partition is behind the target partition which is to be extended, drag the left end of the partition handle rightwards to a desirable extend;Example 2: If the existing partition is before the target partition, drag the right end of the partition handle leftwards to a desirable extend. After that, click "OK" and you will get an unallocated space.3. Follow steps of "If there is an unallocated space neighboring to the partition to be extended, you can direct extend partition".Scenario 2: Shrink Partition1. Launch MilfordSoft Partition Star.2. Select and right click the partition you want to shrink, click "Move/Resize" from the drop-down menu.3. Drag the left end of the partition handle rightwards or right end of the partition handle leftwards to shrink partition. After that, click "OK".4. Click "Apply" to execute pending operations.Scenario 3: Move Partition to extend partitionIn scenario 1, we have said that we can directly extend partition if there is unallocated space neighboring to the partition you want to extend. What if the unallocated space is not adjacent to the partition you want to extend? Now, we need to Move Partition.Here we will show how to move the unallocated space behind E: to be adjacent to out target partition C: which is to be extended.1. Launch MilfordSoft Partition Star.2. Select and right click E: , click "Move/Resize" from the drop-down menu.3. Drag the partition handle rightwards to make the unallocated nearer to the target partition you want to extend.4. Now the unallocated space is behind D: and before E:. Select and right click "D:", then click "Move/Resize" from the drop-down menu.5. Drag the partition handle rightwards and then the unallocated space will be adjacent to C:. Now you can extend the C: with the unallocated space.6. Click "Apply" to execute pending operations.
