Resizing Partitions during Restore to Larger hard drive

Thread needs solution

I just did a backup and restore of my entire disk using TI2010 and sized my partition for the new hard drive.  I restored just fine but using the old partition size.  This was working on previous editions of the TI software.  has anyone been successful doing this?

Erik:

Did you include Track 0 and MBR in the restore? With the newer versions of TI you have to do this as a separate step. In other words, restore only the OS partition and choose to resize it to fit the new disk. Do not include Track 0 and MBR.

If you also include Track 0 and MBR in the restore then TI does a full-disk restore, preserving the original partition sizes.

Thanks!  That was indeed the problem.  I don't recall doing that in the older version, but perhaps the new layout had me a bit confused.
