Hi,
I don’t know what I have done wrong……………….but I MUST find a solution:
I have V90 XPE with Media Size 1024 MB – but when I have pushed my image the C: Partition is only 485 MB 😥 and there are no extra harddisk drives !! How do I extend my C: drive to use 1024MB ? Symantec Partition Magic 8.0 bootdisks don’t work 😥
Do I have to create a new image ? (I hope not)
Let me guess: You have created your image and used WDM to pull it. Now you push it back to other units and do not have the full size?
What was the flash size of the original master unit?
How big is your image file?CG
“Let me guess: You have created your image and used WDM to pull it. Now you push it back to other units and do not have the full size?” – You are correct 😥
“What was the flash size of the original master unit?” – 512MB 😥
“How big is your image file?” – 497MB 😥
How do I extend the C: partition?
If standard tools like Partition Magic etc are not working you can use a tool called Diskpart. This was originally part of all SP1 images.
So, get your hands on a SP1 image, extract this tool, copy it to your unit and run it extend the partition.CG
Sorry, but you can’t use diskpart on a running (active) partition, so that’s not possible 😥
You can. This is what Wyse is doing with each new install. Diskpart is executed directly after an imaging process after the first logon.

When I use Diskpart on the XPE I get an error: 😥

Puppy linux (runs from a USB stick) has an app called GPart.
This should let you play around with the partition size.
Its also has GUI 🙂
Maybe Extend Partition Assistant Professional Edition can realize the operation about extend partition.
I know this question has discussed for a long time and my friend tell me this is the best choice.
So, hope you have a try. Perhaps it can help you carry out it.
Good luck! 😀I was able to correct the problem by using the Wyse USB Firmware Tool. I loaded the operating that I downloaded from Wyse using the RSP file to the USB tool and tool loads the image in the unit. Their is a batch file that runs and detects the flash size and expands according to the flash size after the image transferres from USB to to Flash. You can experiment with PUSH and PULL options for the tool. Please read the manual and all will work well
