restore to larger drive on laptop

My harddrive crashed on my Toshiba laptop. I have restored my image to the new drive that said it was 80gig when I started and now it says it is only 40 again. (my old one was 40gig)
Also won't let me sign into my XP account.

Any ideas?

 

> now it says it is only 40 again

Who is this "it"? If you can not login to XP, where did you see the 40 GB?

 

Hello mpshields,

Thank you for choosing Acronis System Restore Software.

Could you please do the following:

- Download Acronis Report utility from http://www.acronis.com/files/support/AcronisReport.exe;
- Run Acronis Report utility and select the "Create bootable floppy" option;
- Insert a blank floppy disk in the floppy drive and proceed with creating the bootable diskette;
- Boot the computer under consideration from this diskette and wait for report creation process to complete;
- Send the report.txt file from the floppy disk to support@acronis.com.

This would provide us with detailed information on the hard disk partition structure.

Thank you.
