New SSD is missing space

[Jonoo]

This is probably a very basic problem and I apologise in advance.
I decided to upgrade my SSD from 120Gb to 240Gb as I need more space. I cloned from my old disk to my new disk and everything works fine BUT it is as if I still have my old disk in as I do not have any
extra space. I have tried to increase the volume size but there is no unallocated space.

I have a MacBook Pro (15-inch Early 2008) on El Capitan 10.11.6

Any pointers wold be gratefully received

I do not know where you are getting that second pie chart from, but here is what my structure looks like on my mid 2013 13" MacBook Air running the latest version of Sierra, OS 10.12.6:

From Disk Utility:

Then, from the Finder:

Hi
You may see the same if you select the physical drive, (not the volume "Macintosh HD"). If you select "Apple SSD SM0256F MEDIA" and then click on the "Partition" icon at the top of that window.

OK, here is the first one:

Then, when I click on the plus (+) symbol to add a partition, here is what I get:

Yes, but when I try to add a partition I only have 1gb approx. to add. It's a 240Gb disk so I should have at least another 140Gb to add. There must be a way of accessing the remaining 140Gb but it is not available.

I'm assuming you first partitioned the new drive, and then "cloned"/copied your stuff from your older (and external?) drive to the applicable partition. What software did you use for backing up your original stuff, and for cloning it? Myself I use SuperDuper! for my backups, as it makes a bootable clone/backup.
