Windows 10 - Target partition size is smaller than source

Hi,

I hope someone could help and thanks in advance.

Hi, could you post your image details size ?

ls -l /images/yourimage

And details of minimum size partitions

cat /images/yourimage/d1.minimum.partitions

Minimum size partions - No such file or directory.

From the sounds of it, it’s trying to use a recovery file that is larger than the defaulted recovery partition. ONe of the problems of the defaulted partition layout (which I have tried to do away with in trunk) is that while the upload of an image would work fine, the download would make assumptions that were not necessarily true.

What I’m seeing is that the default partition layout is not what the actual data contains.

For example, in a default layout the recovery partition is only 100MB, but in your case the recovery partition is 155MB.

Thanks for the quick reply, how could i avoid this or correct it?

The clean way is to install from scratch your computer without the manufacturer partitions (recover, custom reserved system…)

i recommend upgrading to trunk and re-uploading

I created a new installation of Windows without system reserved partition.

Apply the following steps when the Windows partitioning window apeares:

1. Create a partition on the blank hard drive.
2. Select the partition drive as the partition to install Windows on.
3. Click “Next”. The 100MB partition will be created.
4. Delete the partition which you created in step 1.
5. Extend the 100MB partition to the desired size.
6. Select the partition which you extended in step 5 and select ‘Format’.
7. After formatting the ‘system reserved partition’ will now become normal ‘system’ partition.

I can confirm this works
