Adding a larger Hard Drive

Its possible that when you put the operating system back on because the image was take from a 120gig harddrive that is that size partition the computer created. The rest of the space is probably just kicking around enjoying its idle time.

It all depends on the operating system you use to give you the most accurate description but i will give you an attempt at a generic solution.

• Right click my computer and click the menu option manage.
• A new window appears click on the section disk management. Be very careful around here as you could cause wipe the computer!

You should see disk 0 and it should say 320gig.

What you may find is a section of 120gig with a blue bar across the top showing what has been partitioned and another section with a black bar at the top which should be the rest of the space unallocated. You can make it into another partition say a (d: drive) or you could possible extend the c: . Right click the unallocated space to add new partition or its right click the primary partition to choose to extend the c:. WARNING what ever you do .... do not delete, format or change drive letter of your primary partition otherwise you will be in trouble and its likely to be reinstallation of windows time.

Hope that helps.

Good luck.
