I cloned my SSD primary, 232mb drive to a 1tb mechanical drive. Once the cloning succeeded, the large drive became 232mb. This was okay but now that i've crashed another large hard drive, i'm needing the space.
Instead of cloning again, i thought i'd make an image this time. My question is, if i reformat that 1tb destination drive, will My Computer (windows 7) show its 1tb size again?

Thanks a lot
