I upgraded a couple days ago from a 250 GB HDD to a 500 GB SSD. I imaged the old drive using the Windows Image tool (Control Panel -> System and Security -> Backup & Restore -> Create system image) and then I restored the image to the new drive. The only problem is that it also restored the old partition table, thus making around 232 GB unusable.
Since the image is in Greek, I am going to translate it:
Partition 1: System Reserved, 549 MB NTFS
Partition 2: Local Disk (C
, 231,84 GB NTFS
Partition 3: Recovery partition, 515 MB
And the 232,88 GB of non-used space.
(Note: The PC is a refurbished one, so it's not an OEM recovery partition, it's the Windows one.)
Since Disk Management does not give me an option to move the partition and I do not want to destroy it by using a 3rd party tool such as GParted (it works for Ubuntu partitions, but it screws up Windows ones, I had that happen to me once), is there a way to move that partition so I can extend my main one? Or will I have to delete it and then re-build it in some way?
