In order to optimize the performance of servers

In order to optimize the performance of servers, IT administrators should try to shrink some partitions to make the best use of hard disks. Shrinking partitions should be carried out by a Professional Partition Manager software since the Disk Managing function built in Windows Server is unavailable for some operations.

The most recent release of Microsoft Windows' server line of operating systems is Windows Server 2008. Windows Server 2008 is built from the same code base as Windows Vista. So, the architecture and functionality have some in common.

As a Windows Server 2008 user you should already have found that partition management is not an easy task. Unreliable software might destroy all your important data during the process of shrinking partition on Windows Server 2008 Operating System.

Sometimes, you might need to shrink some partitions to ensure the stability and liability of your servers. Such as when a boot partition C: drive is out of place, the server computer will be fighting for the precious space and will run slowly. To start over is a solution but no one would like to waste their time to do it. The most time-saving and easy way is to shrink another partition with a reliable partition server 2008 manager software.

Copying disk aims to protect disk data in case of accidental data loss

Copying disk aims to protect disk data in case of accidental data loss. However, user seldom understand the importance of copying disk unless really encountering data loss which can be a huge blow for user or time-consuming if user chooses to reinstall operating system. Now user may regret they should have copied disk by taking merely several minutes. However, the operating system build-in disk management tool fails to cover the function of copying partition and user should turn to a third-party partition manager to realize this operation. Speaking of partition manager, I would like to recommend MiniTool Partition Wizard.

Software
Software is the collection of computer programs and related data that provide the instructions telling a computer what to do. We can also say software refers to one or more computer programs and data held in the storage of the computer for some purposes. Program software performs the function of the program it implements, either by directly providing instructions to the computer hardware or by serving as input to another piece of software. The term was coined to contrast to the old term hardware. In contrast to hardware, software is intangible, meaning it "cannot be touched". Software is also sometimes used in a more narrow sense, meaning application software only. Sometimes the term includes data that has not traditionally been associated with computers, such as film, tapes, and records.

Recover lost partition with Partition Recovery Wizard

In daily computer use, no matter how careful we are, we can not prevent files from being deleted by accident. And this situation perhaps happens to disk partition as well. Maybe many users doubt that how the situation where partition is deleted accidentally could happen. However, partition may be deleted for many reasons, for example, virus attacks. Therefore, we are supposed to pay much attention to file security as well as disk partition security. If the partition is lost or deleted by accident, we can recover lost partition with some partition recovery software, for instance, the Partition Recovery Wizard module contained in MiniTool Partition Wizard.

Recover lost partition with Partition Recovery Wizard
Partitioning disk is necessary because we can more reasonably make use of disk space resource and conveniently manage files. The partition magic MiniTool Partition Wizard is recommended to partition disk. It has all partition management functions that other partition magic has. Moreover, it can help us recover lost partition because it also has the same function as partition recovery software has. With Partition Recovery Wizard contained in MiniTool Partition Wizard, we could recover lost partition. First, launch the software.



In the main window, select "Wizard" and click "Partition Recovery Wizard" to recover lost partition.



The window only points out that Partition Recovery Wizard will help us recover lost partition or deleted partition. We just need to click "Next".



If there are several hard disks in computer, select the one where lost partition or deleted partition distributes. If there is only one single disk, click "Next" directly.



In this window, we can define scanning range. If disk capacity is very large, we could select "Unallocated Space" and only unallocated space (unallocated space is generated after partition is deleted) will be scanned, which saves us a lot of time. Then click "Next".



In the window, "Quick Scan" will save us a lot of time. If the lost partition can not be found out by this way, we could select "Full Scan" which takes more time but has higher possibility to find out the lost partition.



In this window, the scanning result is shown. The two partitions with "Lost/Deleted" status are the partitions that will be recovered. Select them and click "Next" to recover lost partition.



After we recover lost partitions, there will be two partitions without driver letters listed in the min window (partition without driver letter is not displayed in system). We need to give them drive letters. Select one and click "Change Drive Letter" in "Operations" area and set drive letter. After this operation, click "Apply" to perform all previous operations and the lost partitions will be recovered.

We can not only recover lost partition but also manage partitions with MiniTool Partition Wizard. Therefore, MiniTool Partition is very suitable for common users. More information about partition recovery wizard can be got on the official website http://www.partitionwizard.com.
