Hard Drive Partitioning

[dylanwalsh2]

OK, here's the situation:

I originally had an 80gb hard drive which I partitioned into 3 different drives (C, D, and E). My E partition is getting close to being full and I now have another (completely empty) 80gb hard drive. Is there a way, using partition software, to make my computer think that my 2nd hard drive is just an expansion of partition E? I hope I explained my situation clearly enough...

Thanks.

Not in any way that I've ever heard of. Pretty sure it cant be done.

just move your files to the new drive.

then delete your old E partition and make that 80 gig the new E drive (computer management, disk management)

ERicB capped it! Do what he said using partition Magic!

If you have pro, then just set it as a dynamic disk and then you can do what you said. You may need to back the data up first, but you can do what is called a spanned volume.

I personally don't give this advice, as your hard drives are not as reliable in this setup.
