    Help with a restore


    Hi,

    I'm win 7 64bit. My 120gb SSD drive died a couple weeks ago and I replaced it with a bigger 180gb SSD drive.

    I do a system image backup to a secondary drive. When I put my new SSD drive in and booted from my win 7 media I was able to restore the image it found on my D drive from 12/26, so only 2 weeks of data loss. I checked format in the restore and off it went formatting my new drive and restoring the image to it.

    The restore completed and all seemed well with the world again :) ... Then i realized that it sees my new 180gb SSD (C drive), as a 120gb SSD (like my old one was)...ugg, can anyone help me fix this so it sees my new drive as full capacity?

    Thanks!!
