Hello. I just replaced my existing 80GB hard drive with WD 320 GB hard drive in my lap top. I cloned my old drive then put in the new drive.

Now the computer thinks the new drive is the same size as the old drive. How do I fix this?

Disk Management, Expand the disk to the full size.

How do I do that. I can get to the disk manager, but how do I expand the disk to full size?
