Unused space vanished after cloning partition?

[Razero]

So today i wanted to copy my boot partition(549mb) from my hdd to ssd(250gb) so i first used minitool partition wizard to shrink the os partition(233.88gb)to (233.32gb) to create unallocated free space of 560 mb which showed as a separate partition with unallocated space.. then i copied my boot partition to it and now it shows the partition is 549 mb,so my question is what happened to the remaining 11 mb of the free unallocated space? is it unusable forever now? why can I not see it as unallocated space like before?

You should be coing a clean install if you're moving to an SSD.

That wouldn't work anyway. BCD uses the drives ID as a reference to which drive it should be booting from, by copying the boot files from one drive to another the BCD information wouldn't change and drive ID would be pointing to the wrong drive which will result in either it booting from the HDD instead of the SSD (if the boot information is intact on the other drive) or it not booting at all (if you removed the boot information from the other drive).

Well, you are probably correct, it is set at logical and cannot be set active.. so now i deleted the partition and i have my unallocated space back with the 11 mb, I was trying to transfer the boot partition to my ssd where the os is at because i wanted to do an mbr to gpt conversion for uefi and my os is in ssd but boot is in hdd.. i m afraid to reinstall windows because some of my settings are going to reset which i probably dont remember and also my drivers are gonna get wiped.. i m just gonna start a new thread regarding this i guess..

If disk reports wrong values, use minitool and shrink partition a little (by 1 mb for example). This will fix bad partition size problem (or empty space).

 

Use Macrium Reflect, create bootable rescue usb, boot from that usb and THEN clone your system (while is not in use).

 

Always made first boot (after cloning) using only new drive connected.
