    I was wondering if i can increase the size of Linux allowed space? Right now it says 4.1 GB, i would like to increase it if possible, if not that,s ok.
    Here,s my info.
    Linux Mint Cinnamon 17.3 ISO on a USB not installed. I have a screenshot that might help you. Thank,s Chuck

    Need to see the drive you Linux installed on which should be /dev/sdb

    Right now we are looking at the HDD that is in the system. What is the size of the USB you are using to support Linux?

    On the right side you should be able to use the drop down to change it show the USB drive.

      I have Linux on 8 gig USB, can i do this, since iam not very good with a computer? I dont want to mess things up. But 4.1 GB allowed space isnt much at all. I would like to try for at least 8GB space. I dont have any clue what iam doing. Thanks Chuck

        I have no idea why you posted a screenshot of the internal hard drive with Windows installed. It doesn’t have a thing to do with linux running on a USB stick. sda is your internal 298+GB hard drive and shows the partitions on it.

        How do you know that linux has a 4.1GB partition on your USB stick?
        If you wrote the ISOs to an 8GB stick it uses the entire stick except for the part you reserved for persistence. Did you reserve 4GB for persistence? If not, then your linux partition is larger than 4.1GB.

        The easiest solution is to purchase a 16GB or larger USB stick and write the ISO to that.

              So you are using 533.6 MB out of 4.1GB.

              I don’t see a problem with less than 13% of the space currently in use.

              Chances are that you won’t get close to 80% used by the time a new LTS version of Mint comes out. \Forget about increasing the space; you probably won’t need it.
