New Mirrored drive old drive size

[Mike]

I had an old hard drive. I bought a new one. I mirrored the old drive and put
that mirror on the new drive. Now after I installed the new drive it did
mirror it but it also has most sectors as unallocated. Can I just partition
that other half? Or can I join that unsed stuff to my current partition?
Having a c: and d: wouldn't be that bad but I'd rather not.

Thanks!

What does ' I mirrored the old drive and put that mirror on the new drive'
mean?

Does it mean you used a third party application to create an image of the
original hard disk drive and then you used that same third party application
to apply that image to the new hard disk drive?

Does it mean you used a third party application to clone the original hard
disk drive to the new hard disk drive?

Either way - what application did you utilize?

Did you read up on how to use the application? Particularly how to
clone/apply and image of something in a way that takes up all the available
space on the destination?

Please come back with a bit more details so someone here might help you out.

You either use a third party tool to increase the size of C to take all free
space or you create a partition in the free space
PS If you had used an upto date Cloning app it could have been configured to
use all the space on your new disk (eg Acronis) in the clone operation
