This is Ghost 10, but I have seen this issue with later versions.
Windows XP system with 2 hard drives. The C: drive (160GB) failed. The D: drive holds valid recovery points. The C drive was replaced with a new, bare (unpartitioned, unformatted) 320 GB drive.
Boot from the Ghost 10 CD. Choose to Recover Computer and choose the Custom option. Ghost finds the recovery point on D:. It consists of a Dell Utility partition (less than 1GB) and the C image. I click through the custom options. I choose "change" to make the utility partition recovery using the same small size as the original. Before choosing "change", Ghost had planned to give 160 GB to this tiny utility partition. I choose "change" for the C partition to get at the options. I want to make the C partition on the new drive fill the available space (320 GB less the utility partition). The option to expand to fill the unallocated space is greyed out.
WHY?
Now that the system is running and I have about 160GB of unallocated space, is there any way to add that space to my C partition without purchasing another software tool? I tried the Disk Manager in Windows and DiskPart.exe but neither would operate on the mounted C drive to change partition size.
