I using Macrium Reflect (free) If I make a image of 1 TB drive with 40GB of data on it...there anyway to restore to a 500GB drive
 
Solution
There is only 40gb of the 1TB (well 48GB)..I thought since the image taken of the 1TB drive, the software would want to restore the 1TB space
Nope.
Some older software was like that. You could only clone or restore to an equal or larger size drive.

Macrium does not do that.
