Kingston A2000 500GB M.2 NVMe And Cloning
Hello can anyone help me out with this issue. I recently encountered an issue while installing this product I recently bought Kingston A2000 500GB M.2 NVMe. It says it has 500gb of space but after cloning it can only hold up to 167 gb which is what my already installed SSD can hold and it is the one I chose to clone from. But is there a way to resolve this issue? The only other internal harddrives can hold up to 2 and 4 terabytes so I doubt I could clone from them.
If anyone has any answers I would really thankful of that.
Thank you very much Steve Smith for the response, I really appreciate it. I am very in experienced in this issue and how to resolve them, so could you be so kind and give me kind of a step by step instruction or something like that. It would really help and I would really appreciate that as well.
Thank you again :D
Update
Ok a bit of an update, I decided to try to check it out for myself and found this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=139&v=_YnF9k-865c&feature=emb_logo . I followed all the steps, so now there's more space, however the rest of the space that was not included in the first is now entirely separate from what I started with. Make it clearer the original one is Local Disc (E) and now I have an entirely new one called Local Disk (G) which has the missing 298gb. Is there a way to fix that as well?
Thank you Steve Smith for the response it was very helpful. I did end up downloading the program and I tried following the steps in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=139&v=_YnF9k-865c&feature=emb_logo to get it done.
However, now the rest of the missing space and the one I started with are now to separate Local Disks. Like the first one is called Local Disk (E) and the one made up of the missing space is called Local Disk (G). Is there a way to kind of fuse them back together some how or is this just something to be expected?
Marcus, some cautions first:
Please ensure that you have a backup image of any disks that you are going to modify before starting. This is your safety net in the event of any errors etc!
Please ensure that you are 100% certain you are working with the correct drive, i.e. your new Kingston A2000 500GB M.2 NVMe drive!
Launch the MiniTool Partition Wizard application and identify your Kingston SSD, then select the Recovery partition (assuming that the unallocated space shows to the right of this partition).
Right-click on the Recovery partition to show a menu of options, select the 'Move/Resize' option which will cause a new, smaller window to be shown. Click in the area of the partition and drag it to the right and to the end of the unallocated space on the drive, so that the unallocated space is now to the left side of the Recovery partition.
Next, right-click on the C: OS partition and select Move/Resize again to reveal the small window again, but this time hover the mouse over the right edge of the partition then left-click and drag the end of the partition to extend it to fill the unallocated space to the right of the partition, so that the partition now uses all the available space up to the Recovery partition.
When all is looking as you want it to look, click on the Apply button in the bottom left corner and follow the prompts about further actions needed such as needing to restart the computer to complete the change actions.
See the attached zip file below for screen shots of doing the above for one of my drives.
