Just a check; the OS is Windows Vista Home Premium 32?
You should check Disk Management to see if you now have a listing for Unallocated Space. When you use the system backup to restore a drive, the system is restored to a partition of exactly the same capacity as it started with. Only the third party tools like Acronis True Image, or Symantec Ghost will adjust the partition size for a new disk.
If your Disk Management tool shows unallocated space, and you are using Vista or Windows 7, you have the choice of creating an additional partition for your data, or expanding your existing partition into the unallocated space using the Disk Management tool or a third party tool.
