[QUOTE="rogerinlondon, post: 798758, member: 20356"] Put in the maximum size that it might need to be in the future. It will not actually take up that size in the drive until you fill it up with files to that size so it does not matter if you put in a big number... When you later double-click the image, it opens and shows up as an addional disk on the desktop and in Finder. It is the same as when you download software to install and a drive image shows up when the downloaded disk image is opened. [/QUOTE]
