boot to new drive with old drive installed, verify you are running off the new drive. once you are sure, go to disk management. from there you can remove the partitions on old ssd and install a new one for storage. format the partition and you now have storage

You can use Clonezilla to clone the 120GB drive on to the 500GB drive. After which you can ensure all files have been moved properly then wipe the 120 and label it what ever letter you want. the 500GB drive will take over being C:/ drive


MODERATOR please move this thread into the storage section as it has nothing to do with memory. Thanks :)

So, on your Disk 2...which is the new OS drive?
...you have 353GB unallocated space.

Somewhere in the cloning process you didn't tell itt o use the whole new drive.
Secondly, at the end of the cloning process, you did not disconnect the old drive(s), and attempt the boot from the new drive only.
Hence, the "F" drive.

To fix?
Start over
First, test the old drive to verify it actually works.
Disconnect all drives except that original C
Boot up, and verify it works.

Assuming it does, then connect the new SSD
Redo the whole clone thing, and verify it will actually use the full drive space
Once the cloning thing is complete, power off
Disconnect the original drive
Power up, and verify it actually boots from the new drive.
You may have to adjust the BIOS boot order, and maybe plug the new drive into the same SATA port as the old drive was.
Continue the power up, and see if it boots from the new drive.

That is all kinds of wrong.

1. You should never use 'A' as a drive letter. Especially for the boot drive.
2. Where is the rest of your drives? Disk 0 and Disk 1?
