I'm a novice user with WinHex v14.9 trying to clone my old 60GB 5400RPM Hitachi laptop hard disk to a newer Seagate 200GB 7200RPM. I connected both disks to my desktop via USB and after using Windows XP to format the new drive to NTSB, I successfully copied the old drive identically to the new. Problem is the additional capacity of new drive is not available. Is there a way to do this that only uses the necessary space for cloning and leaves the remaining space available to Windows XP? Thanks! | ||

If you like, you can first create a partition on the destination hard disk that has exactly the size of the partition on the source hard disk. Then you could clone the partition instead of the entire physical disk, and create another partition in the destination hard disk's unpartitioned space. If you wish to resize the partition (adjust the size to the larger hard disk), you need a program like PartitionMagic. |
