31.6.3 Changing a Partition's Size

You can change a partition's size for the next time the image is applied to a device. You can edit this
value for base images only; you cannot edit this value for add-on images.
If the number that you specify in the Original Size text box exceeds the size of the target hard drive,
ZENworks automatically uses the entire disk. Therefore, you can specify a value larger than exists
on the target device.
However, if you specify a smaller disk space size than is on the target device, only that amount of
disk space is used, so the remaining disk space is unused. For example, if you create a base image of
a device with a 20 GB hard drive and you want to then place that image on a new device with a 60
GB hard drive, 40 GB of that drive is unused.
You cannot decrease the number in the Original Size text box to a smaller value that what is shown
in the Minimum Size text box.
To modify the partition's size:
1 Click File > Open.
2 Browse for and select the image file.
