Windows explorer wrong disk size

Hi,

After a clone the windows explorer reported size was wrong.
Here the process:

Specs:
Perc H700 raid controller
Raid 1 virtual disk. SAS. 1TB. No boot
Windows 2008 server

• I used clonezilla to clone the 1TB disk to an image
• I replaced the virtual disk to a new 4TB virtual disk.
• I clone the image to the new 4TB drive. (restore disk) (default options)
  Clonezilla warned me that I had to use GPT in order to get 4TB partitions
  The clone began.
• I canceled the clone.
• I booted with gparted and created a new GPT partition table and added a new ntfs 4TB partition.
• I cloned the image to the 4TB partition (restore partition) (default options)

I booted windows and everything was working ok but windows explorer says that the disk is of 1TB. If I go to the disk manager, the partition is reported of 4TB.
Using disk manager, I tried to reduce the volume in order to extend it later to see if resolves the problem. I always got "invalid parameter". Tried with differents sizes with the same result.
Tried to do the same thing with gparted but didn't let me change the size.

I found this blog and the solution worked:
https://blog.mrpol.nl/2013/08/16/after-partition-extend-file-system-displays-wrong-disk-size-in-windows/
DISKPART> list volume
DISKPART> select volume [x]
DISKPART> extend filesystem

Was anything wrong in the procedure?
Maybe this can help others in the future.

Thanks

Thanks for sharing that. There is nothing wrong in the procedure. Just the file system size does not fit the partition size since the file system is restored to the partition manually. If you turn on the "-r" option in the expert mode, Clonezilla will try to resize the file system size to fit the partition size.

Thank you very much Fernando
