Windows 10: Booted windows onto a 1 TB External harddrive with important information.

Managed to recover the information well however my 1 TB HD is now 32 GB due to it being a drive. Is there a way for me to revert this back to the original state? Don't care if I delete windows from it, just want the original back with 1 TB space

booting to an external harddrive.

For years I’ve used Clonezilla on external drives to create and manipulate drive image backups like this: First, using Gparted I make two partitions on an external drive, first partition 300MB fat32 for Clonezilla live boot, and the balance ntsf partition
to store the images. Next I use Tuxboot to install Clonezilla onto the fat32 partition. Then I restart the pc and boot to the Clonezilla partition and make a drive image of whatever other drive and store it on the ntsf partition; or I restore an image from
the ntsf partition to whatever drive. I regularly do this on various Windows pcs - XP, Vista, Win7, Win8, win8.1 Win10. I bought a WD My Passport 2 TB drive and everything goes OK but it will not boot to Clonezilla connected to any usb on any pc as my
other external drives faithfully do. The only response is that no os was found. I’ve reformatted and reinstalled various Clonezilla versions. I ran WD diagnostics. I’ve used different cables.

So how do I solve this?

Is windows 10 compatable with the 1 tb external hard drive?

I can not get windows 10 to back up on a 1 tb iomega external hard drive. It gives the message that it need updated files.

Where can I find them?

 

dual boot 2 separate harddrives in laptop with windows 10

I have a dell laptop with an SSD 128 GB harddrive with Windows 10 on that one and a 1 TB drive that is separate from the windows installation. I partitioned 100 GB on the separate disk for Kali Linux and installed it. When I boot it up in order for it to
not go directly to Linux unless I press the F12 key then I can choose the SSD drive and it boots into windows 10. If I take the laptop out of Legacy mode to UFEI mode then it boots to windows boot loader and asks me 3 different systems, Windows 8.1, one with
nothing listed and Windows 10. I'm sure that the 8.1 listing just needs a program to remove the old system boot record as I know that its hard to get rid of old systems even though the operating system is gone. Can someone come up with a solution for the booting
problem and also how to link the rest of my 1 TB drive to the SSD drive so my Windows 10 has more room for files and folders as the SSD drive is getting full. I know this is a lot of questions but if someone could help it would make life a lot easier.

Thanks,
