Computer not starting from new cloned Hard Drive.
And the 3rd time is the charm kind of.
So it cloned just find this time and fired right up.

Though when I right click on the drive and click properties it claims the capacity is 467gb.

It’s a 1TB drive and when I chose it as the destination drive in Macrium it showed 967gb as the disc size.

Disk size yes, but not allocated space for that partition. You can clone the drive again in Macrium and click on the properties of that partition and expand it. It's hard to give you more specifics with out seeing what you are working with. The other option is to use Diskpart and manually expand it. You should be able to find the commands with a web search. Someone else might have a quicker option.

I would agree with Xantom. If you can boot the OS up on that cloned drive, open up Computer Management-->Disk Management, you should see your disk(s), e.g. DISK 0 and the partitions on that disk. If you have a 467GB partition, is there another unused partition with the remainder? If you select your "Windows (C: )" partition that you think should be larger and right click on it, there may be an option to extend (increase its size) to the remainder of the free space/partitions. See this from Microsoft.

EDIT: On some of the versions of Macrium Reflect Free (I use it a fair amount), there's an option to select "Clone partition properties", that is referenced in this Macrium thread.

FWIW, while you can manually extend a partition either with Powershell, CMDline or in the Device Manager GUI ~ I have found that 3rd party programs are better for partition manipulation and resizing.
EASEUS Partition Manager is such a program that I have used quite a bit but there are others and even some free ones.
