Drive Capacity shows old drive's amount??
Last response: in Storage
So I just upgraded from a 120GB drive to a 250GB drive. My university IS center reimaged my harddrive onto the new one, and it still says 111GB for Capacity under disk properties. I used a partition program to expand the primary partition to the full 232GB but it still says 111GB in some places? I tried running Hard Drive Diagnostics in BIOS and chkdsk but no change. Any ideas how I can fix this??
Here is a pic of my Disk Management:

You should not have used that program, go back and re-image your disk so its an exact copy and still has a partition of just 120GB. Then right click that C-partition in the disk manager (the one with the blue bar on top right of the red circle you posted) and it should have an option called Expand. Use this option to use the remaining space on the drive. Maybe that option is greyed out now, but you can try it.
