i have 2 dynamic disks, one 6gb and the other 2gb. the 6gb has the OS installed on it and i want to make it be a spanned volume with the 2gb disk (so it could show up as one 8gb drive in my computer). is this possible? i tried but couldnt get it to work.

thanks

Unfortunately, it's not going to let you do that. You could make the other drive a data directory, or if you like create a mount point to it as a directory on your C: drive.

If you have windows 2000 or Windows XP installed you can do it. You have to go to disk management and right click on the disk and make it a strpped volume. I would make both partitions the same size though to make things a little more simplier. This would make it a software enabled stripped volume. Some motherboards are able to strip volume through hardware connections though.

In order to have a striped volume don't you need to have atleast 3 disks of the same size?

For stripe is enough to have 2 disks but its not going to be fault tolerant. 3 disk are needed for RAID 5 (stripe with parity).

Mount the other disk to your C drive. Look in the help section for mounting a volume.


Hope that helps.
