I know this is probably a long shot.
Ok, so i have a 2TB WD 7200rpm hard-drive with a load of movies and stuff on it. I have recently filled it and have brought a new 1TB WD 6400rpm hard-drive (blank). I'm looking for a way to merge the two partitions into one without deleting or copying everything off the 2TB drive.
I don't want to move 2 TB worth of stuff off this hard-drive just to do this...
I also thought about using symbolic links, shortcuts to link to storage in another hard-drive.
But now that i'm not ignorant about storage organization, when i fill the 1TB hard-drive this will be a pain.
Is there anyway around this, well, any easy way around this that i am missing?
Edit: I don't NEED to, i just thought it would be a better option to keep video files in one partition so i don't have to search through two. It would be nice to just have them in one place. Which is my delema, moving all items off the drive is more effort than i want to pursue just for having a 1/3 chance (assuming the 1TB drive is full) of not finding the file i want and having to search in another partition.
