Reclaim Full Capacity of Target Drive

Question

How do I reclaim the full capacity of my target drive when I no longer need it for mirroring?

Answer

The file system on the target drive is overlaid by SIOS DataKeeper, thereby making it smaller than the actual partition size. Although Disk Management indicates the full partition size, SIOS DataKeeper and Windows Explorer indicate the smaller mirror size. To reclaim full capacity of the drive, reformat the partition or use a partition resizing utility such as GParted (http://gparted.sourceforge.net/).
