How to Shrink Partition in Windows Server 2003 for Free?

During the process of using computer, you may once encounter the following situations:

1. The system volume (usually C drive) is in low space, which makes your machine run slowly or even crash;
2. Your data are so much that you often feel at loss when finding a particular one or managing all of them;
3. The built-in Disk Management does not have the function of resizing, and the complicated command line in diskpart.exe also could not give a good help.
