Hubert, and Michael, thanks for the quick responses. I understand about how to extending a partition, I've had to do that in the past. But this time, any partitioning tools I've tried show the drive as 91.7GB with no available space to extend the partition to. I have tried Gparted, and Paragon Hard Disk Manager. Both show no available space on the drive, it just looks as if the raw disk configuration was overwritten. The OS, is Windows XP, with SP2 which fixes the 137GB drive limitation. Actually, before I copied the drive, it did show the full drive size.
Again, thanks for your help. Jeff. -----Original Message----- From: Hubert Feyrer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, November 24, 2007 11:07 PM To: Jeff Thornburg Cc: g4u-help@feyrer.de Subject: Re: [g4u-help] I messed up On Sat, 24 Nov 2007, Jeff Thornburg wrote: > I was trying to copy disk sd0(old small drive) to sd1(new big drive).

What is "it"? You probably want to use PartitionMagick or so to fix your partition table and expand the related file systems. This is beyond what g4u does. - Hubert
--- Begin Message --------BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 G4U uses dd, and it makes an exact copy of the drive/partition, so it is the same size. Depending on the OS, there are a number of programs that can resize the partition on the new drive. You didn't mention what OS you have on the drive. I've used gparted, but you could also just create a new partition using the rest of the space.
