partitoning

[Guest]

I was wondering if you could partition two hard drives to act like one partiton. Thanks!

AFAIK you need RAID to do that. Maybe there are software RAID solutions
available? Or you could get a h/w RAID controller. Both drives will
generally need to be the same. Try a google. Warning...such a set up would
be 1/2 as reliable as having one disk, and if you only have two disks,
failure of either would be equivalent to losing your C drive, ie you'd be
screwed.

No.

You can do so by turning them into a 'dynamic disk'. I most strongly
advise that you do not.

Best Bet? Buy a Prtitioning Program, my favorite is Partition Magic,
but there are others, such as, 'Partition Commander, etc.. It will
consolidate, divide, teke from one and add to the other...it will do
everything but talk, and I suppose they're working on that too!

However none of these, as far as I know, will do what Link309
wants: have a single partition span two physical drives.

If you know one which will, I'm all ears.
