Need to resize a cloned hard drive

[Billie Walsh]

Thank you.

I figured it out. When I was entering the new data I needed to enter the 
last sector. In order to dind that I had to create a partition on the 
unallocated section of the drive. Look at the properties and delete the 
partition. Then enter the new data.
