Blue_whale With recent devices I have noticed that hard drive space seems to be less or the partitions are taking up more space. If you already have 2 partitions I recommend reusing the partition that isn't the active partition to perform your code upgrade or downgrade.

We have to install the new Hotfix for which we need both old image which is in HD1.2 and currently installed Active image HD1.1 ...Is there any limitation to create a number of partitions in Physical f5 devices ?

I'm not aware of a limitation of partitions. You might try deleting the old image partition HD1.2 and then installing the current image and hotfix on a new HD1.2.
