I have 2 drives on my computer, i.e., C and D, and each are 20 mg.. How in
the world do I combine the 2 so that I have a total of 40 mg? I am almost out
of room on my C drive, and need to know, in laymens, easily non-geek english
how to combine the 2. If you can, please email me at cocindee@msn.com..
thanks so much..

It has to be NTFS.
MS has Dynamic volumes, but a dangerous way storing your
data. If one hard drive fails, then you loose everything.

You need a utility like Partition Magic. XP does not natively allow you to
resize partitions.

Do you have two physical disk drives, or do you have
one physical disk drive with two partitions?

You go to the local software store and buy Partition Magic.
