I've done some searching I didn't find what I was looking for so forgive me if this has been asked.
I have a 120BG drive I cloned to a 500 GB drive using Clonezilla clonezilla-live-1.2.1-53.iso burned to a DVD.
I ran all the standard settings. It was a disk to disk clone.
When I started Windows Vista on the new 500GB HD it booted and everything looked good but there was a 4.88 GB drive D with nothing in it, the C drive with about 40GB for Vista, then the rest unused.
What did I do wrong? I was thrilled it booted and everything seems to work fine but I wanted one partition.
Thanks for putting up with a noob
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Could you please:
1. Boot Clonezilla live and enter command prompt
2. sudo -i
3. cat /proc/partitions
4. parted -s /dev/sda print (replace /dev/sda with your device)
5. blkid
Then post the results of 3-5.
This will provide more info so it's easier to see what's going on there.

Looks like I was the cause. I just remembered that this HD I'm cloning is the OEM installed laptop HAD and there is a recovery partition. Normally I completely wipe HD's and re-install everything so I have one partition and a clean install. This one had three partitions all the exact size that showed up on the 500 GB drive.
So is there a way to clone just the C: partition which is only 64 GB to one big partition on the 500 GB?

Yes. You can use partition to partition clone function in Clonezilla live.
