Restore to lager disk

Thread needs solution

I have imaged a 40 gb drive and wish to restore to a 80 gb drive.  The image of the 40 gb drive has a hidden partition for restore to factory conditions.  When I restore to the 80 gb drive it does not resize to fit the larger drive.  after the restore it has 38 gb still unallocated.  I have tried to change the size during restore but the ATI 2009 will not allow me to access the screen to resize the drive during restore.  My only option is to to a full drive restore.  Any suggestions??

You might look at posting #1 from K0LO in this link, this does work:

Thank you for your post.  Does it matter that the hidden partition is located right after the c:\ drive?  The unallocated space is at the end of the drive.  If I try this fix will it move the hidden partition to the end of the drive?

 

Thank you in advance.

I have not tried it on a system with a hidden partition so I really can't be sure.  I recall that in the process I reduced the size of the secure zone (I set it to some small number) to speed things up.  I think it would be worth a try tho.
