We have been using 2GB R90LEW XPe units and have now ordered 4GB R90LEW XPe units. When I put my current 2GB image on the new units it just makes 2 2GB partitions. Is there a way or a utility that will allow me to add the extra 2GB to the C drive or will I have to build a new image from scratch for the 4GB units?

The default builds from Wyse (either 2 GB or 4GB) will auto expand itself to the available flash space.
But if you pull the image from a 2 GB device that functionality of expanding itself is getting lost.
The only two options would be to
– use 3rd party tools like GParted, Partion Magic, etc.
– create a new image based on 4GB flash

Jim Lathan

Greetings! My name is Jim Lathan, and I am a nerd, Diginerd is what my friends know me as. I have been with Dell about 20 years serving in many roles; mostly Systems Engineer. My history with Wyse starts years before the Dell acquisition. Before the purchase of Wyse, I and a hand full of system engineers guided dell to desktop virtualization leading to Dell developing its first Thin Client. Having kickstarted the VDI strategy I moved to the Client Product Group where I co-launched Dells VDI-in-a-box and participated in the vetting of the thin client industry which led to Dell purchasing Wyse. Once the acquisition was completed, I moved back into a systems engineer role to help educate and promote the new Dell / Wyse solutions. Years later, I have been active in providing feedback and new product evaluations for Wyse and other VDI related solutions. I am also continuing to educate myself and build experiences with Citrix, VMware, Microsoft, and cloud-based solutions. So, what makes me a Diginerd? My other technical passions is Raspberry Pi’s, 3D printers, laser cutters, Ham radio, and I love to learn about technologies big and small, old and new. My hobbies include renovating Commodore 64s, old school electronics and learning Linux. I also enjoy camping and being with my family. I want to finish by thanking Thomas for a tremendous job of building Techincalhelp. I pledge to you all that I will give it my all and do my best to fill his shoes.
