11. Slide the bar to the desired size. Default is 500MB. The minimum required sized for WinPwn to work is 700.

Note: Firmware 2.0+ has two disk partitions. The smaller one is 500MB, this is where all your 3rd party apps go. This is why you get the running out of disk space error. That is just not enough room. Now with WinPwn you can change the smaller partition to a bigger size.
