Ghosting onto a larger drive

[Rhydia]

Hi, I had restored a Ghost image from a smaller capacity, 13gb drive, to a larger 80gb drive. The 80gb drive now thinks it's 13gb! WinXP sees it as 13gb, and I don't know how to fix it. The Symantec website doesnt seem to have any refernce to such a problem. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Try formatting the target drive and do it again. This time, check the options before you make the transfer to be sure there is no setting that causes your problem.

If you can't get it that way, use something like Partion Magic to expand the partition on your new drive to fill it.

Don't imnage the smaller drive to the larger. Clone it! That will give you the complete size.

I don't know about Gost, but Acronis TrueImage does this easily. It will also do the reverse - larger to smaller. Use the "porportional" setting and do it manually.

Are you using an older version of Ghost?
