You may have encountered such a situation: after a long time of using, computer disk will become insufficient of free space and the disk usage rate will become unbalanced. For Windows XP users, this problem is rather hard to solve because the system built-in
disk management tool has no extend partition function. This tool has only simple functions including
create partition,
delete partition and
format partition. To
extend XP Partition, we need to resort to the professional
partition magic. The following is a demonstration of using professional partition magic to extend XP partition.
