Title: Partition Not Using Full Size
Post by: L00K3 on January 31, 2016, 12:21:08 AM

I have a 128GB partition on a hard drive for running the new Remix OS released earlier this month but only 17.1GB has been allocated and 110GB has been left unallocated, how can I force the partition to allocate this space and if I have to reformat the partition will a partition image restore effect the allocation.

Pushing an image to a drive, depending on what image tool your using, most will push an image to a drive maintaining the original partition dimensions of targeted partitions when image was created.

Guessing your talking about the Remix OS x86 PC version .... pretty sure this is based off of Linux, but not finding much info on which flavor of Linux was used for the core kernel etc.

Most installers these days give option to set the dimensions of the install. Does the install process prompt you to give you control over this?

Sorry I haven't replied but fixed it by finding a solution to use NTFS by installing another Android image to the partition then replacing certain files, btw the flavor is based off Android.
