Used clonezilla to clone 40G (ide) drive to a seagate 500G IDE but instead of having ~440G left, I have 2 full 40G drives....
How can I recover the space on the larger drive and keep it as the primary boot drive?
You might have the option of Defragmenting it as some files might be unorganised and also by freeing some space on thee disk by simply some files and data which yo don't need or might have cloned themselves repeatedly, that is Duplication of a same file or data and/or multiple amount of files.And if you think that you simply don't need the files then in that case simply format it in the respective file system whichever might be compatible,say,cdfs,FAT32,NTFS, and so on.

Somehow the cloning has established the new drive as an exact copy 40G - 40G. Windows reports drive C as 40G and drive D as 40G. The format command will let me format the big drive as a 40G. I think I need to low level format and I'm not familiar with the procedure here.
