How to change partitions in Windows Server 2012!

2025/9/18 Edited to

... Read moreCドライブを増やしたいのに「ディスクの管理」だと拡張できない…これ、Windows Server 2012ではかなり“あるある”でした。ポイントはとてもシンプルで、未割り当て領域が“Cドライブの直後”にあるかどうかです。 ■まず確認すること(失敗しないための前提) 1) 「ディスクの管理」を開いて、C:の右隣がどうなっているか確認します。C:の直後に未割り当て領域があれば、標準機能の「ボリュームの拡張」で増やせる可能性が高いです。 2) 逆に、C:の右にD:が挟まっていて、そのさらに右に未割り当て領域がある場合、Server 2012の標準機能ではC:を拡張できません(未割り当て領域を“左に寄せる”移動ができないため)。 ■「ディスクの管理」でできるケース/できないケース - できる:C:の直後が未割り当て領域 → 拡張ウィザードで追加 - できない:D:を縮小しても未割り当てがD:の右側にできる → C:の直後にならないので拡張不可 この挙動が分かるだけでも、時間のロスが減ります。 ■Cドライブを増やす現実的な対処(未割り当て領域を活用する) 私が詰まったのは「Dを縮小したのにCが増やせない」パターンでした。そこで必要だったのが、未割り当て領域をCの直後へ“移動”する作業です。標準機能に移動がないので、パーティションのリサイズ/移動に対応したツールを使うと進めやすいです。 進め方のイメージは次の通りです。 1) Dドライブを縮小して未割り当て領域を作る 2) Dドライブ自体を右側へ移動して、未割り当て領域をCドライブ直後に持ってくる 3) Cドライブを拡張して未割り当て領域を取り込む ■SSDのパーティション分割は必要?(迷っている人向け) 「SSDはパーティション分割不要?」と迷う人も多いですが、サーバー用途だとログ置き場・データ領域・OS領域を分けたい場面があり、分割自体には運用上のメリットがあります。一方で、最初の設計が甘いと今回みたいにC:不足が起きやすいので、最初からC:に余裕を持たせるのが結局ラクでした。 ■容量の目安・整理もセットで考える 拡張の前に、Cドライブ整理(不要な一時ファイル、Windows Updateの残骸、ログ肥大化)で数GB〜十数GB戻ることもあります。拡張は最後の手段として、整理→必要容量の見積もり→拡張の順にすると安定します。 ■作業前の注意(体験談) パーティション移動・拡張は便利ですが、万一に備えてバックアップ(できればイメージ)を取ってから実施しました。特にファイルサーバー運用中は停止時間の確保も大事なので、メンテ時間を決めてから触るのがおすすめです。
