Windows 8 boot error after cloning HDD

Problem: After cloning a small HDD with a Windows 8 installation to a larger one, the system won't boot with the new HDD. When trying to run system restore with the Windows 8 installation media, there's an error saying the drive is locked.

Solution: Use Windows 7 or Windows Vista installation media to run system restore.
