I've cloned my Samsung 160 gig disk with XP onto a Samsung 80 gig drive
using CloneMax. The problem is that XP seems to think it's the same size as
the previous disk. I've tried rebooting several times, but to no avail as
far as getting the system to notice the change in the disk's size. BIOS
reports the size correctly, and XP did recognize the disk as "new hardware"
when it booted up that first time. However, its size keeps being erroneously
reported, even by the disk management utility in XP. I even tried running
CHKDSK at bootup to see if it could find a prob with how thing were being
reported in the FAT table or anywhere else.

Perhaps I should add that XP seems to be running quite well otherwise.

So what's the problem?
