My 1TB HHD is showing up as 120GB instead of 1TB? I tried to expand it but it keeps saying there's no available space for this disk. How can I make my HHD show up as 1TB again?

You shouldn't be cloning drives, it's unreliable and in scenarios like this causes significantly more hassle.

 

Delete all the partitions on the HDD, make a single new one, and copy over any files you don't want to download again (I'm guessing games and stuff).

It's won't let me delete the partitions. I also tried using the command prompt to delete the partitions but it didn't work even with Administrator chosen.

Make a new partition table on the drive then.

Well I don't run Windows so you're either gonna have to google it or click around until you find an option to make a new partition table on that drive.
