New Samsung 256GB SSD Restore
Good Morning,
I installed my new 256GB Samsung 830 into my Lenovo ThinkPad W520 yesterday and, although it appears to be performing just fine, I do have some questions. I backed up the entire 160 GB Intel SSD to and external drive using Acronis True Image Home 2012. I then installed the 830, booted using the Acronis recovery disk, and restored the backup to the 830. The laptop booted up without a single hiccup and passed all the diagnostic tests I could throw at it. (Lenovo, Si Sandra, Samsung SSD Magician, etc.) However, rather than seeing the full 256 GB, drive C: shows 1.17GB IFS / 212.22 GB Unallocated / 108.45 GB IFS & D: shows 25.08 GB in the Samsung SSD Magician Over Provisioning panel. Windows Explorer likewise shows drives C: & D: at 108 GB & 25 GB respectively. Does anyone know why so much unallocated space? Thanks in advance.
Respectfully submitted,
Bert

You can also correct the problem by repeating the restore but with some changes.
