Can anyone tell me where I went wrong this time?

Firstly:
Brian, thank you for your tip on CSEL, that worked fine and I cloned the new drive first time.
I then installed it as the sole drive, got the error messages (as expected) used the Norton Disk and modified the boot.ini file so that I could then boot into windows - Tada!!!!
Now comes the Groundhog Day bit.
Disk management tells me I have 118gb of unallocated space and the NTFS healthy system is only 34gb.
Does this mean I can't install my MS Flight X after all that?
How can I expend the thing so that the whole disk is useable?
Anyone out there help?

When *cloning*, you should have had the option to *resize drive to fill unallocated space*--that would have created a single large partition for you.
Or, at this point, you could simply use *Disk Management* to create an additional partition using the *unallocated* space.
Or, you can use PartitionMagic to non-destructively enlarge an existing partition.

You're absolutely right Night Owl. I do, and I didn't.
Can you point me in the direction of carrying out this task in Disk Manager? I've had a quick look but I can't see the way forward.
Is it possible to do it thus without losing any data?

In Disk Management--Rt mouse click on the unallocated space and select the *Format...* option. Unallocated space has no data to loose--it will just make the space into another partition--may have to re-boot for it to be usable. Other existing partition(s) will be (?--should be?--make sure you have a backup available if you have to start over!) unaffected by the procedure.

mustafacatflap,
Is your C: drive large enough? How much free space is in your C: drive?
