A noob question:

I am currently running Snow Leopard on my Macbook. My hdd was failing so I bought a 1TB hdd to replace my old one. I used a hdd clone device that's intuitive and automatically clones the old one. Everything went well. The new drive boots however, when I look a the Mac.. hd it shows the old hdd size...Even though I have a full 1TB as the new HD. Is there anyway I can extend the size of the hd? I've attempted to pull it down to make it larger but to no avail... I've attached a picture from Disk Utility if it's useful.

Grab the little pull down corner and move it all the way down then click Apply.

What happens when you click the plus to add another partition then apply? Have you checked the disk using the tools in the First Aid tab? What software did you use to clone the disk?

Good question...I can add a partition no problem. I'm just trying to increase the cloned drives space. I didn't use any software at all I have a device where one inserts both hdd's and bang it's done. Thanks again!
 
That device is the source of your problems. Use a software like CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper to make a disk image or to clone the data from one disk to the other via your Mac.
