HDD Upgrade of C: Drive - How to claim additional space...

Posted: 12-10-2007, 05:31 PM
Hi,

I installed a new 500GB Samsung SATA drive to replace my 250GB Maxtor SATA.
I used Norton Ghost 12 to image copy the original disk to the new Samsung
and then swapped them over physically.

The new disk works fine but I obviously chose the wrong options when
creating the image backup since Vista thinks the new disk is a Maxtor and
only 250GB in size.

Q: How do I get Vista to recognise the full 500GB of space & change of hdd
h/w?
Can this be done without reformatting the drive?
