Hope it helped cause I just wasted 3 min of my life. for me there are 2 easy way

1st : using software like partition magic / paragon
2nd: travel to the hdd manufacturer & download the hdd utilities, it can make it as one back again.

NOte: backup ANYTHING coz i will not reponsible for any loss data...LOLPay Attention:

These are 2 physical drives and not partitions.
This cannot be done without using a RAID setup.

Read before hitting the POST button.patio, thats just what i was thinking......
so which solution can i use?how would i go about setting up a RAID set up and how complicated is it and does it envolve reformating both drives?The best advise in your situation is leave it as is. Because of the difference in drive capacity, RAID is out. If you are not familiar with RAID, I SUGGEST you do some SERIOUS research before you wind up screwing yourself.2K is absolutely correct...it can take a good deal of effort to setup a RAID array properly.
The HDD's have to be equal in capacity for one...you would also need a controller card ...additional hardware...
In short there's not much advantage to a home based system which is why i offered no details.

This however will get you started if you want to pursue it...thanx very much for UR help guys
preciate it
