Laptop hard drives

[callumorr]

Hello,
hi i have got an asus laptop with two 120gb local disks. however one is set as th system boot. this seems to mean that all user data and program files go onto this drive, with additional data going to the other. this is fine, however the first local disk is now full, with 70gb free on the other however i cant download anything to my programs as they have to go to the system admin drive in the users library. just wondering how to maybe link the two drives so they both run as system admins?? thanks.

Are they set up in a RAID, or do they each have their own drive assignment in Computer?

either way, you need another larger drive to replace the drive the OS is on

I suggest a 256GB SSD, then you can do whatever with the other drive bay

What you're describing is called RAID 0 (you can google it for more info) and I would generally advise against it unless you have a good backup system in place. If one of the drives goes down in this configuration, you won't be able to boot the system, and there's no easy way to tell what data will be stored on what drive.
