I copied an exact image of my buddies Samsung hdd with winhex and it worked flawlessly but then i proceeded to mount that image on my 120 GB Western Digital not thinking it would be quite this extensive of a copy. Now my computer sees my 120 GB as a 20 GB Samsung and i can not find any way to restore it back to its factory state. Obviously it would be nice to gain back that 100 GB so please respond if you have any suggestions at all. Thanks in advance for the help. | ||

Of course your computer sees your 120 GB disk still as a 120 GB disk. The disk geometry cannot be copied by WinHex when it simply copies the data in all the accessible sectors only. What your computer sees is probably the original 20 GB partition defined on the disk. The definition of that partition is stored in the sectors themselves, therefore it is copied by WinHex. So what you might want to use is a partition resizing tool such as PartitionMagic. |
