Hello all,

I currently have a 500gig (2 years old) hard drive [SATA] that is out of space. I am running windows 7. I want to buy a new hard drive and just increase the space, so to say, of my current one. I don't want any new partitions or anything. I want to keep everything as C:. Is there a way to buy, say a 1TB internal SATA drive, and have it combine the two to 1.5TB? You can get technical with it if need be, I do have a decent technical knowledge -- but I do not know this.

TL;DR combining 1 - 500g with 1 - 1tb hardrive to have 1.5TB of C: space when the 500gig already has windows and all its settings on it.

I'd greatly appreciate your help!

No way to do it easily. You'd need to make a backup of your 500GB drive, somewhere. Then install the the 500GB and 1TB drive into the system and create a JBOD (just a bunch of discs) RAID array. Then you'd need to clone your OS back up to the new RAID array.
