Partition size issue

Thread needs solution

OK now here my issue, I use 500GB hdd to backup image, den restore to 1TB HDD.

Acronis use 500GB partition, which is not full capacity.

Previous version it will use all capacity doesn't matter what HDD size I restored to.

How do I solve it? I want Acronis automatically use all the partition all time.

Are you restoring to a Basic disk or a Dynamic or GPT disk? See the link below, might help:

Windows 7... normal routine I do.. not GPT.

2014 no issue, it can recovery full partition.

2015 after finished recovery I need use disk management to extend the partition...

Hello,

Had the same problem.

My scenario:

Got ahold of an OLD Gateway Profile4, which had Windows XP on a 320GB drive. It only used 5GB worth of space. I tried to remove the HDD and put the partition on a 30GB SSD I had left over and not being used. Why could I not use 2015 Acronis and clone 5GB worth of data from a 320GB drive to a 30GB SSD?

2 ways to fix this:

#1 - Resize the partition to the smaller size, in my case I shrank the partition down to 20GB and this worked.

#2 - Use 2014 Acronis, it does not seem to have this issue, this also worked.
