Not enough space on disk error

[Tony Beville]

Running windows 7 pro, with different SD cards, 512MB and 8GB, both get a report saying not enough space for a 250MB file.

I recommend using IOCTL_DISK_GET_DRIVE_GEOMETRY_EX (instead of IOCTL_DISK_GET_DRIVE_GEOMETRY) which will give an explicit (and on my system ) correct size of the disk in bytes.

[Jeff L (jll544)]

Attached patch uses IOCTL_GET_LENGTH_INFORMATION to determine device size and leaves the old CHS calculation as fallback if the ioctl fails (supposedly for floppy disks, although I have not tested that scenario).

[Jeff L (jll544)]

Forgot to upload this earlier. This patch also is required to fix the device size bug. Simply adds read access to the raw device, so that IOCTL_DISK_GET_LENGTH_INFO can succeed.

Cool, your patches worked for me! More than one way to skin a cat :-)

I applied the patches listed here as I was receiving the same error on a 16 GB SD card, after compiling and moving the newly compiled Win32DiskImager.exe into a recently extracted win32diskimager-RELEASE-0.3-r27-binary.zip folder I receive the error:

"The procedure entry point _ZN7QWidget4showEv could not be located in the dynamic link library QtGui4.dll."

Any thoughts?

Silly me, I have been using two systems with Win7Pro and got the same error so I bought more cards. Now I find a patch but don't know how to go about applying patch. Is a compiled version available?

[John Blossom (jblossom)]

Likewise, I need a compiled version, please.

I'm technically on vacation, but will test this (along with a lot of other patches) and hopefully get a new release out before end-of-year (UTC-8).

[Tobin Davis (gruemaster)]

I just released v0.4. I did not include the patches attached to this bug report, but I also did not experience this bug during my testing. I am marking this bug as incomplete. If anyone still experiences this issue, please let me know, along with specific info so I can try to reproduce it.

I am using a 16GB class 10 microSD in a SDHC converter. I can read, write, create partitions and format the card in DISKPART and Windows 7 Disk Management without any problems. However, I still get this error when trying to write an img file via v0.4

[Tobin Davis (gruemaster)]

Now that I am back from work travel, I can focus some time on this. No promises that it will be fixed for 0.5 (targeted for January 20).

[Tobin Davis (gruemaster)]

Pushing 0.5 now with a fix for this. Please test. If it is still a problem, please change the status of bug 932321 to new.
