Partition problem

I took an image of both C and D paritions (both NTFS) and stored them on a USB drive, also formatted with NTFS.
I then installed two new 500GB drives, created a mirror array, and partitioned the drive using GParted to have two NTFS partitions, both around 250GB.
I then restored the two images to the new larger partitions, and rebooted.
Windows booted fine, however there is a problem. The C and D Drives are reported to be the old sizes (12GB and 137GB respectively). If I look in Disk Management, the two partitions show as being the new, larger sizes, but the actual drives that Windows uses are still the small ones.
Is there anyway to rectify this?
A picture probably describes the problem better.
Many thanks.
