I recently upgraded an XP Pro system with a new MB/RAM combo, but
temporarily kept the old 60 GB HD, a Maxtor ultra/133 as the primary HD.
A new Maxtor 80 GB drive was installed yesterday after making a DAT/floppy
ASR set. I was able to restore from the ASR set, but it only recreated the
original partition, slightly less than 60 GB, leaving 20 GB free.
How can I transfer the system to a full 80 GB primary partition?
Will ASR still format an empty NTFS partition? If not, one option could be
to put the 60 GB drive back in the system as the primary drive, reformat the
80 GB drive with NTFS, then restore to the 80 GB drive.
If ASR reformats the HD under all circumstances, could Norton Ghost be used
to restore to an 80 GB NTFS partition, or would it also recreate the
original, smaller partition?
Thanks,
