    Hello,

    I have two physical HDDs on my XP machine, one with two partitions (one for OS and program files, the other for storage), and one with a single partition. Does anybody know of a solution to make the second HD and the second partition on the first HD look and act like one driver letter in XP?

    I'm looking to do this, as I've run out of space on my second drive where I keep all my media, as I don't want to have to start using two separate HDDs and folders to each store some of the files.

    Windows can "extend" to the second drive...BUT, it MUST NOT have any data on it....

    AND, if I'm not mistaken, if you were to have issues with the system drive, you might loose the data on the second drive...
