For other information on a partition's properties, see
Size," on page 469.

You can also right-click the item, then select Properties.

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.
Large image files might take a few moments to open.
3 Select a partition.
4 Click File > Properties.
You can also right-click the partition, then select Properties.
5 In the Original Size field, specify the new partition size.
6 Click OK to save the change.
This only saves the partition size change. You must save the image file for it to be in effect the
next time the image is applied.
