Hello,
I have a laptop consisting of 2 harddrives in raid 0 configuration.The 2 hardrives are used as system drive C. The raid drive C is a 224 gigabytes.I saved an image of my c drive.
I have installed new harddrives in my raid drive giving me almost 600 gigs on my c drive.
When restoring with trueimage 11.0. only 224 gigs are used on my new c drive and the balance of the drive is set to unallocated.How do I restore my new raid drive using the entire 600 gigs as c drive?
Thanks, Mike

Hello Mike and DwnNDrty!

Thank you for findng time to report about the issue and many thanks to DwnNDrty for his valuable comment.

Mike, I would suggest you to restore once again choosing not the entire drive for recovery, but partition after partition. This will allow you to resize the drives. The algorythm is the following: 

  1. Follow the steps of Recovery Wizrd till you are offered to choose what to restore
  2. Select, for instance, C drive
  3. Click Next. After specifying the target location you will be offered to resize the partition.
  4. Change the drive size
  5. Choose to recover additional partition and perform the same steps with the second drive

I would advise you check chapter 6, page 53 in the User's Guide for more details.

Should you need anything else or have any further questions - feel free to contact us at your earliest convenience, we will be happy to help you!

Thank you!
