Well, I'm trying to get a school set up so that when students log on to any computer in the Win2K Server domain, their files are automatically mapped to My Documents.

I already have the scripting figured out, I just need to figure out how to get plenty of storage space.

They currently have 4 80 GB IDE Hard drives. Our current file server can support all of them, but we need to figure out how to get all of the drives to combine into one network share.

For example: \\primaryfileserver\student_documents would consist off all 4 drives, and they would all show up as one drive combined, for a total of 320 GB.

Is this possible?

If they are individual disks (and separate from the boot disk), then you could use spanned volumes. Before implementing it, you need to understand that it isn't very safe, i.e., it's like a RAID0 where losing one disk means that you've lost all data stored on the spanned volume. Buying a single larger hard disk might be a much better solution.
