SUMMARY
When trying to restore a 800Mb ISO image to a 120Gb empty drive, I get an error
about space not being enough.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Insert a clean pen drive. (tried: a. no partition table; b. with clean MBR;
c. with clean GPT)
2. click the unallocated space and from context menu select "Restore"
3. Select a ISO file (e.g. arch install media) Confirm defaults on next dialog.
file used:
https://america.mirror.pkgbuild.com/iso/2023.02.01/archlinux-2023.02.01-x86_64.iso
OBSERVED RESULT
I get an error:
"""
It is not possible to create the target partition large enough to hold the
source.
This may happen if not all partitions on a device are correctly aligned or when
copying a primary partition into an extended partition.
"""
EXPECTED RESULT
I expect the target partition created.
