k thanks for all the help people in the end manufacturer
was no help i kept recieving blank emails
did some
searching on download.com came across Casper XP 2.0 the
free version does not allocate for new space I.E. i would
have gotten a 10gig partition with 30 gigs of unallocated
free space, i paid the 45 buck for the full version which
copies onto new drive with all the space useable. full
version works like a charm no need to redo settings or
anything all in all took about an hour to get it all back
to normal (except i have 4x as much hard drive now)would
have to highly recommend Casper to anyone trying to do
same thing i did with only one puter. and thanks again
for all the help still ended up costing me exrta money
but i have the program now
