I have downloaded Macrium Reflect to clone my 120GB OCZ-Agility to a new 960GB Sandisk and all went well except that it left me with 782.46GB unallocated partition on the end of the new drive. I would like to add that to the new partition where my OS is located now but its giving me https://gyazo.com/fab9d9289d4d6cbd975d23e2fe19a569.

Any help would be appreciated.

go to disk management on your computer. Right click on the formatted section of the disk and then click extend volume. It will let you allocate how much you want to extend the volume, use the max allowed and click ok. Let it do its thing and then close disk management. your should now be able to utilize the entire disk.
 
If the restore partition stands between the system partition and the unallocated space you may need third party software to add space from the unallocated area to he system partition.

This works well, I used it today to do what you are trying to do: http://www.techsupportalert.com/content/minitool-partition-wizard.htm

Install it on a self-booting CD or DVD and from one of the the drop down menus at the top choose "Extend" and then choose the unallocated space to add from. Be careful not to choose the Restore partition to add from. Click on Apply and let it move stuff around. Doesn't take long.
