IMPORTANT: You need to have a knowledge on using Gparted
Download here: https://gparted.org/download.php and install on CD or USB

I learned the Gparted basics thru Google and Youtube 24hrs ago... lol

Google or Youtube " How to clone a partition using Gparted"

**You need some extra space on a HDD/SSD or USB drive to clone the USB contents created by REMIX OS
**Easy if you have an EXTRA USB flash drive ready to be SETUP for cloning REMIX OS.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Install Remix OS in USB using the Remix Installer.
or
skip #1 and Use your current REMIX OS USB setup if you already have one.

2. Boot Remix OS and finish setup for newly installed OS. - DO NOT SETUP A PASSWORD YET as you will run into trouble logging in later on - (But a terminal solution can delete the password anyway if you google how to do it.)

NOW you have a copy of REMIX OS running on your USB. Next step, is to CLONE the partitions created by REMIX OS....

3. Next is to Run/Boot Gparted and apply your knowledge in cloning partition.

Example:
I have a new 128GB flash drive and I have made 2 partitions.
1st partition has like, 20GB and the 2nd partition has like 100GB

I have cloned the REMIXOSSYS (original size about 5.28GB) to the 1st partition (20GB)
and have cloned
REMIXOSDATA (original size is 64GB) to the 2nd partition (100GB)

Cloning done.. Boot to REMIX OS and now I have 100GB storage instead of 64GB

Enjoy!
