Hi. I currently have an SSD and recently purchased a Hard Drive. I wanted to transfer all my files and os to the hard drive because of the space. I went about cloning all data from the SSD to the HDD. When it finished I checked the hard drive and it basically formatted it into the ssd. It was labeled ssd and only had 117 gb of storage. I tried resetting it back to the original factory settings but nothing has worked as of yet. Any help on how to fix it. And if I can get it fixed how can I clone everything from the ssd onto the hdd.
Thanks!

Yes, you can clone and modify the partition space at the same time.

1) Download Macrium Reflect

2) Look at the User Guide, steps 3-5 specifically go into how to re-size partitions during the clone option selections.

3) Re-clone the SSD to the new drive and see if it uses the space correctly.

Please let us know how this turns out for you! :)
