System Image partitions C: drive after system restore
I've recently purchased a 256GB Crucial MX100 to upgrade and troubleshoot an old 90GB OCZ Vertex SSD.
I made a 90GB Partition to create my system image on a 1TB WD Elements HDD.
I succeeded in the system image restore, but when I checked "My Computer" to view the drive it only recognized it as 90GB!
I then went to Computer Management and noticed that the remaining part of the drive was partitioned and wasn't formatted.
I formatted the volume but it won't allow me to extend it and combine it with the C: drive.
The ONLY thing I did differently during the system restore was exclude a secondary WD drive before doing the restore.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I would ideally like to not put so many write cycles on my new SSD trying to merge the partitions.
Hopefully a command in diskpart or something can resolve it. Thanks
