i want to install an embedded image(image.sdi 650MB) to a 20G disk only
want create one partition on that disk with logic letter c

i tried

diskpart
select disk 0
clean
create partition primary
assign letter=c
select partition 1
active
exit
format c: /fs:ntfs /q
sdimgr image.sdi /writepart:c: /yes


after it is booted, it only created a C drive with all the copied
file from image.sdi, however the size of C drive is only 650MB not
20GB. is there a way i can make C drive size to be 20 GB.

thanks

Personally, I use a similar system which instead of copying from an .sdi file - which is why the partition is 650MB, as that's the size of the image - I use xcopy to grab the image from a network drive.
