How to access free space on a MBP?

[Dr.Tech]

I am able to use CopyCatX to clone one MBP to another, after creating a dual boot (with Bootcamp).
When going from an 80 GB drive to another 80 Gb drive, all is as expected.
When going from an 80 GB drive to a 100 Gb drive, I end up with an 18.6 Gb free space partition at the end of the hard drive.

Is there any way I can format this partition to OSX or Faty32 and make it useable?

thanks

Unlikely, as it sounds like the tool you used copied over the partition table. I would recommend reformatting as 100GB and then using Carbon Copy Cloner to do a file-level copy, which won't alter the partition table.

I tried doing it using CCC and it works for the Mac OS X partition.

But CCC does not recognize the MS Dos partition

I wonder if other backup/clone tools will.

Ah, now I understand - sorry about that, I wasn't catching that you were migrating a Windows partition as well.
