Question: I upgraded my Windows hard drive, and now have a space problem.
I inserted a new 240GB SSD, used CloneZilla to clone my old 120GB Windows C: drive SSD to this new one, switched the SATA cables, and turned on the computer.
Everything works great with the new SSD being the C drive, but it shows the old hard drive’s space for some reason in Windows Explorer, while in Disk Management it shows the correct space. I restarted the computer and it was the same thing. Does anyone know what’s going on?
Here is a screenshot of the issue:

Answer: When you clone a partition, you clone EVERYTHING even the size.
Download a copy of GParted Live CD. ?Burn it, boot off of it and EXTEND the partition on your 240 GB SSD. ?This should take no more than 10 minutes, tops. ?Given that you have a backup of your data on your original drive, I think you have all your bases covered. ?Good luck!
