Hello,
I just cloned my data hard drive (5oogb) onto a new 1TB Hard Drive using Macrium cloning software. It all went well as for as the cloning except the hard drive is only being recognized as the size of smaller one I cloned. What can I do so I can use all of the new 1TB hard drive.
Thank you in advance, George

rightclick on start , then choose Disk Management , you will see unallcoated space in the drive .. you can either make that free space another drive or merge it with existing drive.

The simplest, most straightforward way to do this is just to use Disk Management and right-click on the clone-created partition and select the "Extend Volume" option from the drop-down menu.
