      aaaaaah…okay.
      Then in this instance, i would want to use a “non-re sizable” option. Correct? That should solve this issue?

      Out of curiosity, under what circumstance would i choose to use the “re sizable” option?

        @Hatch i can’t think of many instances where i woudn’t want to use the re-sizeabe option. non-resizeable will keep the partitions the same size and won’t fill out the partitions to the full capacity of the drive if there’s more space.

          I’m not understanding.

          What is using 81 gigs? It’s USING 81 gigs? or the drive size is 81Gigs?

            Let me try and clarify.

            Here is the drive i created the image of.
            upload-e751938d-f12f-4503-98b4-aa153b70ff68

            So that makes sense that the Image is 37.84GiB.

            Here is what happens when i install the image on another computer.
            upload-bade41f3-20fe-4a67-a921-d5c418d91d5d

            Why is my “used space” over doubling?

            Sorry if i wasn’t clear, previously. I appreciate the help.

              @Hatch Why not look into both of these drives (the source and the destination) and compare? See where the space went, and then let us know what you find?

                a good tool for that would be WinDirStat

                  Will do, sir.

                  Just for my own clarification: On the system that i am wanting to apply the image to, i do not need to partition it. It can be unallocated when i start downloading the image to machine, correct?

                    I use that at work - it’s awesome.

                      Depends - there’s been issues with imaging to absolutely-blank drives in the past. It might be something to ask the @Developers about. But as long as the drive has had something on it in the past, you’re good to go.

                        I will give WinDirStat a try. Thank you for the recommendation.

                          Hey guys.
                          I figured out what the problem was. Thanks to people that recommended WinDirStat…i found the page file was the culprit.

                          Source machine: pagefile.sys = 57.1% = 7.9GB
                          Destination machine: pagefile.sys = 57.1% = 31.7GB

                          So i guess, turn off paging on the machine that you’re creating your master image on, then turn it back on for the destination computers?

                            does that computer have 32 gigs of ram, by chance?
                            by default, i believe windows creates a pagefile equal in size to the amount of ram in the computer.
                            btw, fog automatically deletes the pagefile and hibernate files before uploading the image to the server, since they will automatically be recreated and they consume a lot of wasted space.
