I just cloned a 120Gb ssd to a 240Gb ssd, installed the 240Gb, and it booted fine, but the Properties of the C: Drive still sees the 120 Gb. Do I need to do something to the Bios? I have a Lenovo G560
 

I used Macrium Reflect to clone the SSD. It has 2 partitions; One is 24.1 Mb of 100.0 Mb and the 2nd is 102.56 Gb of 111.69 Gb. The ssd is 240 Gb

I just found a third partition with 111.78Gb That is greyed out. How can I get it removed?



 


I will try recloning with Acronis True Image which came with the ssd. Do I have to swap the 120Gb ssd back into the Lenovo before I reclone? When I use Acronis, will it still partition exactly, or can I tell it to make the 2nd partition the actual size remaining on the ssd?
I downloaded Acronis, and swapped the 120Gb ssd back into the notebook, then cloned the 240Gb ssd. It worked fine, and I am now back up and running with a 240Gb ssd, and lots of space left. Thanks for your help kunthakenthe
