How to Extend Partition after Cloning A Smaller Disk to A Larger One?
Geeks - If you have cloned a smaller disk to a larger one, you may need to extend the partition on the larger disk to make use of the additional space. Here's how to do this:
Start by booting your computer from the larger disk that you have cloned the smaller one to.
Once your computer has booted, open the Disk Management utility. This can be found in the Control Panel under the Administrative Tools section.
In the Disk Management utility, right-click on the partition on the larger disk that you want to extend and select the "Extend Volume" option.
Follow the prompts to specify the amount of space you want to add to the partition, and then click "Finish" to complete the process.
You should now be able to access the additional space on your larger disk. Keep in mind that you may need to reformat the newly extended partition before you can use it.
