nexionly Posted January 26, 2002 Share Posted January 26, 2002 If I install xp to a new partition on my hd, and then copy all the settings from the old install, so it is like it was for email IE, and that sorta stuff. can I then make those two partitions one? tun hd1 & hd2 into hd1 ya know what I mean? Will this work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph Zollo Posted January 26, 2002 Share Posted January 26, 2002 If you have two physical drives and you want to combine them, you will need two drives identical in RPM and Size, and a RAID card. You cannot partition two hard drives together. If you have two partitions, then you can combine them using Partition Magic (http://www.powerquest.com/partitionmagic/).

nexionly Posted January 26, 2002 Author Share Posted January 26, 2002 Alright, I would have two partitions. So that should work. Does that sound like a good idea to anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad Posted January 26, 2002 Share Posted January 26, 2002 I dont know what JzolloXP is on, but Windows 2000 and Windows XP Pro both support dynamic disks. This allows you to create spanned volumes without the use of a RAID card or identical drives. He was right about partition magic though. If anyone wants more info on spanned volumes, look it up in Windows Help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
