<div><div dir="ltr"><font face="Tahoma">Joel,<br><br> Did you make the new larger partition start sector exactly the same as the one you deleted? Deleting a partition does not touch the data but the new partition has to start at exactly the same start sector. All you are doing when you create the new one is increasing the end sector. The filesystem still resides in its same size within the partition until you resize it after the reboot.<br>
<br>I am curious why you want to do this? It is really not necessary unless you need the space. You could also leave the current partition alone and create another new one starting one sector after it to the end of the SD card or whatever size you want less than that.<br>
