Nothing is impossible for the man who doesn't have to do it himself - A. H. Weiler
steveyWN: Hi all.....I have 2 HD's in my desktop PC. One is 500 gigs and the other is 1 TB. The 500 gig drive is my primary partition with Windows 7 OS, and lots of other stuff on it. That drive is almost full, so I wanted to clone it to the 1 TB drive, swap the SATA cables over and make the cloned drive my new primary partition. I used the AOMEI Backupper utility. Two problems ensued. Firstly, now the 1 TB drive (the clone) is reading as if it's only 500 gigs, and the second issue is that the "used space" on the clone is almost 80 gigs less than the original. How is that possible if it's a clone? Regarding the smaller total space on the clone, I'm guessing I must have had a setting wrong when I started it. Anyways, I just want to fix it now, but not sure how. So to summarise, I want to restore the 1 TB drive to it's full capacity, and I want to clone the smaller drive to it, without losing almost 80 gigs in the process. Where did that 80 gigs go and what was it? Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance for your contribution.....Steve.
