Disk clone Help needed

[MASTERVODKAMAN]

I have succesfully cloned my HD from a 6GB to a 20GB as I was runnin
out of disk space. I have had no boot up problems or fil
loss.......But on properties of the new disk it's still saying the ol
properties and I'm still low on disk space.....I ran a partitio
manager and its recognising the new drive size but is showing
partitions (the 6gb and the extra 12ish) how do I Tell my Pc it is al
1 drive

many thanks MASTERVODKAMA

One question: When the image of the old drive was cloned to the new
hard drive, was it for the full 20 GB or a straight cloning job for
just the same 6 GB size of the old drive?

Dear MASTERVODKAMAN,

You omitted the most important detail from your post:
How exactly did you performed the cloning operation?
What tool did you use?

A 6GB hd running xp.......Then you cloned to a 20GB hd....Ever think in
terms of
80-120-200-even 500GB hd...Either way,where is the old hd,are both active,try
running diskmgmt.msc From run,see where the space is(nt).Or go to run,type:
cmd In cmd typeiskPart In DiskPart type:list disk Type:list volume
See where
xp is placing the space...

But you didn't clone it properly from the sounds of it. You
apparently cloned the partition, not the disk. If you had done the
latter, you would have ended up with the full 20G disk with less than
6G in use.

You did it wrong. Most hard drive manufacturers have free utility software
that allow you to copy the whole drive. Or there's lots of commercial
software (like Acronis) that will do it.
I'm trying to figure out what you used that didn't!
You'll either have to do it over or use a utility like Partition Magic to
get rid of that extra partition.

BootIt NG from Terabyte Unlimited can non destructively combine the free
space to give one partition. It comes in a 30 day full featured trial
version.

You say you ran a partition manager.
Any "partition manager" that I know of can expand one partition and use up
another.
Many keep a second partition for all documents and non-program files.
