Changed drives using ghost, capacity hasn't changed

Hey,

Got rid of the OCZ SSD crap (150KB/s write speed, meh) and put back the 250GB shipped with this laptop. I used Ghost to clone the SSD data into the 250GB. Everything worked just fine, the only issue remaining that Vista doesn't show the 250GB of the drive, but rather the 112GB it used to have with the SSD.

I tried playing a bit with the Disk Manager under administrative tools. On the bottom (the graphical area) it shows the right size, but the volumes on top are wrong size. And I can't use it's Extend feature to resize the partition.

So what do I do to get max space?

Thanks

reload it with ghost and be sure to use all available volume space. sometimes ghost defaults the new partition to the same size as the old one and you need to manually expand it to maximum.
