Hello, cnet forums. I have a problem.

The Legend Of Zelda Phantom Hourglass Rom Download Deutschland on this page. Open Prediction Project Ebook. So I wanted to upgrade my hard drive on my laptop from 60 GB to 160 GB. I saw the 'How to Swap Hard Drives' video on cnet, and decided that that was how I was going to do it. So I bought an Apricorn DriveWire and a Western Digital Scorpio and was on my way. I followed the directions to the letter- I got the Congratulations screen that said it was completed, i turned off the computer, pulled off the hardware, and installed the new hard drive in to my laptop.

When I booted, I got a blue screen- stating that Windows will shut down to protect the hard drive from damage. It mentioned running check disk, and that my hard drive might not be 'terminated'. I then used the enclosure I bought to make the old hard drive an external to check the new drive. It now states that it only has 54.4 GB of space on it!

I then proceeded to try a quick format, format, and a low level format. Nothing changed it back to having the ~150 GB that was on the drive.

I decided I'd take it back to Micro Center and get a new drive. I did so, and opted to get a 250 GB instead. This time I decided to check the drive initially before I went through the process.

It said it had ~238 GB of free space. So I open the.pdf file for the software to make CERTAIN I did everything correctly. I again got the Congrats screen, tried to put the new hard drive in and. Same problem.

Checked it again and it seems as though the cloning process did it again! It's like it's deciding that my new drive needs to be 54.4 GB (the size of my old one).

I know that is not the case, because when I was doing the Cloning it shows the new partition sizes based on the expanded size of the new drive. It definitely showed that the partitions would grow. I dunno what to do now. I can't take this drive back again.

Some help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Paul. This is a common problem for people who don't pay attention to the settings in the cloning software. Sometimes they will create a partition on a larger drive that is the exact size of the old drive. You can either check your settings with the cloning software and make a new image, or you can use one of a number of partitioning resizing programs. Since you currently have a functional cloned copy of the drive, plus the old drive itself, you don't need to worry about backups if the partition resizing program should have a problem and mess things up.

If you want a free partition resizing program, look into Qparted. Last time I used it, which admittedly was a while ago, it was ugly and a little less than intuitive. Once you figured out how to use it however, it worked a treat. For BIOS updates? Now, AS FOR THE REPORTED SIZE, yes - an attempted image to a drive recognized as considerably smaller will have written the partition table and a smaller size will be seen.
