Cloning Dell 80 GB to WD 320 GB makes partitions wrong sizes
Using Clone Disk on Acronis 11 Home, booting from CD, I want to clone an 80 GB Dell drive to a WD 320 GB drive. All seems to go well on setup, but it shows that the main partition (C:) will be ~70 Gb, with the extra space on the drive allocated to the partition that holds the Recovery information. Is there a way to get the extra space on the C: drive partition? Thanks in advance!

Acronis Home 11. I am using a boot CD and want to replace a failing hard drive that cannot be booted from in the original system. What is happening is that when I do an automatic partitioning, Acronis makes a C: drive partition that is the same size as the old drive, then puts the extra space into the partition that the Dell Recovery is on. When I try to manually adjust the C: partition, it gives me no option to increase the size of the drive. I can make the recovery partition smaller, but that only gives me a large amount of unallocated space.
I will look at your reference materials. I'm sure this is a problem that many people run into when cloning to a larger drive and having a recovery partition like the Dell does. Thanks for your help!

I am having this same problem. I am running a bootable cd that I was told to use by a tech on chat yesterday. He sent me the link and I created an image on cd with the .iso file and it constantly crashes when I try to clone. When I try to back up sector by sector, it cannot find my destination drive.
This program has an extremely poor and very unintuitive user interface. This should be automatic and easy. Even with the silly Dell partition. You know there are a few Dell machines out there. Duh, maybe millions. What does it take to make this program do the one single task I spent the money to do??
