    Hi there!

    I hope someone can let me know what I'm doing wrong.

    I'm using clonezilla-live-1.2.2-14.iso and trying to go from a smaller 80GB disk to a 120GB disk.

    The problem I'm having is that after the clone is done and I go into Windows XP and check the size of the drive in "My Computer", Windows thinks that it's still an 80GB drive.

    However if I check the size in the Disk Management properties, Windows says that it's a 120GB disk.

    I'm cloning the source computer to an image on a external USB drive, then hooking the external drive up to the laptop to restore.  I've tried using the -r option and the -k options.

    Any suggestions or help would be appreciated.

    (Also, I have to boot into Safe Mode for the time being since I get a blue screen when the machine boots -- I thought that the above problem might be part of the issue I'm having.  The two machines have different hardware, and no I didn't use Sysprep on the source machine yet...)

      Actually, I didn't see this thread before I started this post.

      It appears they are having the same problem.

        Please make sure you used the option "-k1" instead of "-k".

        Steven.

    I'm getting the same thing. Also tried Acronis clone but it did the same except that it wouldn't boot. I came here trying to find the answer as well.
