Hard drive cloning help

[RFAurora]

Hi everyone, I have a custom built PC, specs are ASUS Rog Strix Z270E Gaming Motherboard with an Intel Core i5-7600K processor, 16GB of RAM, an Nvidia GTX 960 graphics card, a 250GB SSD for OS, 2 2 TB HDDs for games and files I don't want on my SSD, and 2 4TB HDDs for music, movies, and TV shows.  Prior to this post, I had a 1 TB HDD in place of one of the 4 TB drives.  I used Acronis True Image 2017 to clone the 1TB drive to the 2TB drive after migrating the files on the 2TB hard drive to a new 4TB Seagate Ironwolf NAS drive.  After the clone process was complete, I had the PC shutdown, and I pulled out the 1TB hard drive and replaced it with the 4TB Seagate.  When I powered on my PC after the HDD swap, I logged into Windows, and instead of seeing both 4TB hard drives, it sees the old 4TB hard drive as the 1TB I removed instead in Windows explorer, and shows the old files.  I made sure I double checked the destination of the clone before I started the process.  Samsung Magician shows the size of the hard drive in question, but sees it as windows does as the old 1TB.  It is worth noting that the 1TB I removed and the 4TB that is giving me issues are both WD black series hard drives. and the remaining drives in the PC are a 250GB Samsung 970 Evo SSD, 2TB WD Blue, 2TB Seagate Barracuda, and the 4TB Seagate Ironwolf.  I did take the 1TB WD Black and throw it on in an external enclosure, and it shows up as it should.  About to power down my PC, pull the 4TB and test it on another PC with an external enclosure

Can you show a screenshot of disk management? I think you need to extent the partition on the drive.

I think I screwed up.  I just opened disk management, and it looks like my WD 4TB got turned into a clone as well.  I lost everything I had put on it.  I had backups of some of what I had on the new seagate Ironwolf, but I'll have to replace a lot of shows that I didn't manage to get backed up.

If you want to extend that F drive, right click on it, then click extend and it will be 4tb now.

Yeah.  I could do that, but I would need to delete all the files on it since it's not my movie and TV shows.  It'll probably be just as fast to reformat it to a blank drive.

In the future for non boot drive, i wouldn't use cloning tools, id just copy the files between the drives.

Yeah.  in the future I will.  I wasn't sure how my PC would handle it though since I moved the root directories for music, videos and documents off of my boot drive to one of the other drives I had, and that was the drive I cloned.
