Windows Partition Larger than Drive?
Posted: Thu Jul 18, 2024 9:06 pm
Hello,
I recently converted my Windows 22H2 image from MBR to GPT in order to boot in a new UEFI environment with the AOMEI Parition tool, however after doing that successfully and attempting to take a backup to a 50GB Blu-Ray using Image for Linux 3.32, the "Select Item to Backup from" menu reads the following:
Drive , 238,475 MiB, Entire Drive
MBR 0, Partition (01), 2,097,152 MiB, GPT Reserved
My disk is only 250GB. Not sure why Image for Linux is only seeing one partition (I have two, C: and D:) and why it sees this suspicious partition as so massive compared to the actual physical space of on the SSD.
I tried backing up anyway, and it seemed like it was going to fill the disk as it was slated to take hours to complete rather than the usual half hour it takes me to burn a blu-ray backup.
In Windows, I only have maybe ~35GBs of used space across both partitions. Anyone have any tips or suggestions?
