Re: Help! New hard drive thinks it is half its true size!

I know of no such "easy" way to clone the hard drive minus the drive geometry its forcing down your throat.

The only method or procedure I can think of to suit your needs is to install a fresh operating system of the exact one you have on the 55gig drive / then import and replace your registry with your old windows registery from the old drive. then when you copy all the contents only of your hard drive over to the new drive >>>>> they will then all work

not really a "beginners" class

you will have to research how to back-up and restore the windows registry
