Hello, Do we have any users of Image for Windows? I used it on a win7 talking install to back up a 160 gb hd which worked fine. I then put another drive in an enclosure, this one a 500 gb hd and loaded the image on to that. This also went fine, booted it up the new drive and all is working. Except... Well, image for windows did not enlarge the partition, I've used ghost way way back in the past from bootable floppy with batch files and it had an option to resize the disk, I've got a 160 gb partition on a 500 gb drive. I'm needing to know two things: first, can this be avoided in the future, can image for windows automatically resize to a larger drive? Secondly, I need to resize safely the 160 gb partition so it will fill the entire disk. Thanks. Dave.
Dave, I used software from Herman Street to enlarge the partition. It works pretty well and at last check there was no cost involved with using it.

Dave, Sorry, it took so long to find but I couldn't remember it and my friend that had the information just sent it to me http://www.majorgeeks.com/mg/sortname/partitioning.html Look in the drive partitioning section of drive utilities. The utilities. I think it was Ease US was the software and it is free.

I'm a big proponent and advocate of IFW. Your problem can probably be traced to one of so many check boxes on the restore screen, and the best advice I can give you, especially since I've also had resizing problems, is to write to support@terabyteunlimited.com and explain the situation. They helped me out, they're good at what they do, and will help you quickly. On Sat, 17 Oct 2015 10:57:33 -0400, you wrote:

Hi. You can use disk management to resize the partition. Thanks, Kathryn Sent from my iPad
