that's because when you image a drive windows alocates only the size of the imaged drive for the disk.

(i don't know what version of windows you have) type into the search box "manage disk"
the first option should be "Disk Management"
right click on the alocated space for the c: drive
chose "extend volume"
manually add the leftover space to the disk size
-should fix your problem.

1. How did you 'copy' this?
2. You started from a 250GB drive?
