Hey there, nikospc!

You can use the Acronis True Image WD Edition software to perform a manual or automatic clone. If you do the automatic one, you can allocate the rest of the HDD from Disk Management after the cloning process is completed. The manual, however, lets you modify the partition being created. You can look for the Acronis True Image tool in the WD Software downloads here: http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?id=pRd7Aj
Here are the KB articles with the step-by-steps for cloning:

Manual clone - http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?id=U64Yl6

Hope it helps. Good luck!
