AOMEI Partition Assistant, as a partition manager, which specializes in accomplishing all operations in disk partition management. It is easy and reliable to resize, create, delete, format partition and more advanced partition operations. As we know, resize partition can not be supported by earlier Disk Management snap-in in Windows XP, 2000, 2003. Luckily, AOMEI Partition Assistant has the functions which the Windows “Disk Manager” doesn’t have.

Partition Assistant allows you to resize the partition with low disk space safely. Usually, resize operation covers both extend and shrink operation.
