      I just replaced my 128GB Micro SD card with a 512GB card as I was running low on available space.
      I took an image of the 128GB card using Win32disk imager and wrote that image to the new 512GB card, I then fired up raspi-config and extended the image and rebooted, but the card size is wrong!

      It looks like the card is only being seen as a 320GB card, any ideas?

      fdisk -l shows the following :-

        This is logical, you cloned a partition, so its the same size, go to the retropie menu, select raspi config, and there select advanced options, and then expand filesystem.

          @crush Yes I did that, didn't realise I had to do it twice. All sorted now :-)
