Clearly both True Image and Maxblast User Guides are misleading. The manual clone mode is referred to as 'for the advanced user' and auto mode is suitable for most of the time. Doesn't proportionally mean to expand the 40GB partition onto the 120GB disc as one partition? Indeed the opposite is stated that by using Auto clone mode it will proprtionally transfer the original HDD information to the new HDD. The wording on both their website and User Guide (identical to True Image UG) again makes no reference to additional software. This software is the cloning portion of Acronis True Image but it also creates unallocated space. Maxtor give away for free Maxblast to upgrade to a larger HDD. There's no reference anywhere in the User Guide about having to use an additional software free or purchased or to use manual clone mode in order to use the unallocated space. I'm using True Image 7 - Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought the point of using TI auto clone was to upgrade an existing HDD to a larger capacity HDD and to be able to utilise the additional space immediately? That's what's stated in the User Guide. Thanks to both Scott and GroverH for your reponses.
