| Jun 22, 2016 at 15:01 | comment | added | goldilocks♦ | I don't know how Win32DiskImager works. If it is just a GUI interface to a blind tool that copies the whole card into an image irrespective of partition tables or content, then it will do it "in a naive way". If it is at all possible for you to do this using a linux system, see here. If you had additional storage attached to the pi that you could then read from another computer, you could use the pi and create it on that, or do it all from the pi if you have a USB - SD card adapter to burn to. | |

| Jun 22, 2016 at 14:55 | comment | added | Silent | Sorry should have stated that, I've created it using Win32DiskImager, if there is a more appropriate way I can certainly give it a try! I run Windows on my main pc which is why I went that route. I'm just getting into Linux so pretty limited on my knowledge of tools included or out there. I haven't given dd a shot at creating images of the partitions but I may do that instead just to see. | |
| Jun 22, 2016 at 14:32 | comment | added | goldilocks♦ | You will need to explain how you "go to create the image of the disk" if you want serious help with this, since that is not something gparted does as far as I am aware. It may shrink the partitions on a card but it obviously does not shrink the card itself, so if you are creating an image from the card in a naive way, it will always just be the same size as the card, even if the card is totally empty. | |

The answers in your first link (involving truncate) will only work with images where "empty space" refers to space that is not occupied by a partition -- in which case using dd then truncate seems a bit silly, but in any case, if you try that on an image where the partition fills the card, it will trash it.
