Hi,
Yesterday I installed a new HDD since my old one has started slowly dying.
I cloned the old HDD to the new one using Clonezilla and then I formatted the old HDD with the same software.
Now it's like Windows doesnt recognize my old HDD, in Disk Managment both of the HDDs are shown but when I right click on the old HDD all of the options are greyed out except " Detele Volume " and " Help ".
I tried using the Command Prompt tool to create a new partition but that didnt work either, saying that the disk specified is not dynamic. Once I saw this message I tried to convert the old disk to a dynamic disk but I got an error saying " There is not enough space available on the disk(s) to complete this operation ".
What could be causing this, could it be that the software Clonezilla is Linux based and my OS is Windows 7 ? ( though the software is compatible with Windows too ).
How can I fix this problem so I can create a new partition on my old disk so I can use it ?
Right now it's plugged in but no point if I cant use it, it's like it's invisible.
Thanks.
