Disk Management is not displaying correct HDD size. Partition issues?
I recently created an image using Clonezilla using partitions rather than whole disk. I had to do this to apply the image to a 80GB HDD rather from a 250GB HDD. This way my whole disk image would fit on smaller drives. Well I think my shortcut to making a whole new image on the 80GB broke something.
I did this by shrinking the partition on the 250 to ~24GB and making an image of the System Reserved (100MB) and the C drive (~24GB). I then applied this image to an 80GB drive so I would be able to take a whole disk image to apply to any drive that is 80GB and larger.
After I applied the Clonezilla Part-Image to the 80GB the partition was only ~24GB... This is expected. I figured I would be able to expand the partition to the un-formatted space.
The kicker is, I can't do that. Disk Management says that the C drive is actually ~74GB.

My brain hurts. Is there a known solution for this?
What I am going to try next is remove this 80GB HDD, plug it into another computer and delete everything off it. Make it RAW no partitions. Then I will apply the part image again and hope that it will have three partitions. 100MB, ~24GB, ~50GB. The 50GB will be un-partitioned space that I can extend the C drive to. This is my theory and I hope it will work.
