I cloned from a 60gb Intel 330 series SSD to a PNY 120gb SSD.
The old partition copied over to 48gb so i enlarged to partition on the new drive to use up the rest of the unallocated space. The disk mngt shows 111gb for the partition but the C; in my computer shows still on 48gb.

I have uninstalled the drive, restarted multiple times, any ideas?

Open a command prompt as administrator, type in "chkdsk c: /f" and hit enter. This should state to you that it can't open the drive exclusively and will do the check on the next reboot. That's fine. Reboot your machine on the next possible time to allow the chkdsk to run. This should correct any errors in the file system.

A drive advertised as 60 GB has actually about 48 GB of actual disk-space that can be utilized. It's similar to your 120 GB SSD that actually has about 111 GB of disk-space available for use. Capiche?
So if following the disk-cloning operation Disk Management indicates 111 GB of actual disk-space on the Intel SSD destination disk, that would be correct. Presumably ALL your data on your source disk - the "60 GB" drive has been cloned over to the newly-cloned SSD.

As long as the SSD boots & functions without any problems and contains all your data, everything is just fine.

OK, try this:
1. Create a folder under the root of the C: drive called "Drive"
2. open an administrator command prompt
3. type in "cd \" and then "chkdsk c: > C:\Drive\Contents.txt"
4. Type in "dir >> C:\Drive\Contents.txt"
5. open the new text file in the C:\Drive folder can paste contents into a reply post here

i actually resolved it by just recloning it. i wish i knew the cause but the drive was small \enough to clone quickly. thanks anyway.
