I had to copy a system from a 20 GB drive to a 60 GB drive using Drive
Image 7.0 (same as Ghost 9.0) disk copy. It came over fine but now
instead of 60 GB I only have 20 GB. When I check it in the Disk
Management Service it correctly shows 57.5 GB and same with Partition
Magic. But when I click on the C: Drive icon it only shows 20 GB. Where
did the rest go and how do I get it back?

Howdy,

Run the verification process on the image. If it checks,
ignore the size. My 40 gig drive generates an image that is
12 gig.

HTH,
 
How? Anyway it is the the fact that my C: Drive went from a 60 GB one
to a 20 GB one even though partition magic says I have 60.

Hello again,

I don't know anything about the precise method, but the
drive is compressed by these imaging programs. (I use DI,
Fhost, and True Image and all do the same thing in this
regard.)

All the best,

While selecting the options before copying the drive using DI, did you
select the option to resize drives to fill entire space?
If not, remove the partition you created on the 60GB drive. Then use DI
again to copy the 20GB drive to the 60GB drive, and enlist the option.
