Then, get a tool called Partition Magic. It is not very expensive - I
got it almost for free in a set with Norton Antivirus and Ghost. It
should indicate that you have one 160 GB partition and 240 GB of free
space. Either resize the partition or create a new one in the free
space (the safer option).


I tried Partition Magic for a cloning exercise recently (to upgrade a
laptop from
one HD to a larger HD) and the tool didn't do the trick (though it has
worked perfectly
for expanding a partition and other functions). I then used Acronis
True Image
(http://www.acronis.com) which cloned perfectly. A fully functional
trial
copy can be downloaded from the web site. Highly recommended.

To repeat a common thread - have a really good backup before entering
these troubled waters.

Good Luck,
