Restoring from one HD size to another

Thread needs solution

Hi,

I've tried to search this forum for an answer, and maybe I missed it, but I have a question and if someone can direct me, I would be very grateful.

My Seagate Barracuda 750gig drive died and I went out and purchased a Seagate Barracuda 1TB drive.

When I restored the backup image from my external Hard drive to my new 1TB drive, it made the partition only what the old drive was (750gig).

Now, it makes the drive seem like it's only 750gig capacity.

How can I restore the image, and maintain the 1TB capacity?

thanks
