I recently purchased a 100GB 7200rpm HD to replace my laptop's 60GB 5200rpm HD. I tried cloning my system's HD using Norton Ghost 9.0 via external USB but was unsuccessfull. I then turned to MaxBlast3 and it did the job. However, now my 100GB HD has the identical capacity as the HD i cloned (60GB). I've tried everything-- from reformatting it with Windows Disk Management to reformatting it with KillDisk. I don't know what else to do. How can I recover my 100GB HD's full capacity?

Jump to PostWhoops, I didnt see that you'd already tried Disk Management. Does DM show your HD's capacity as 60 GB? if it does, you may need to delete ALL partitions on the disk.
