| 612331 | 2007-11-17 12:43:00 | Have a windows XP computer with C drive capacity of 80 gigs. I bought another 80 gigs. The original one on master and the new on slave, but when I click on C drive properties it show 80 gigs. I was expecting to see something like 160 gigs on C drive. what should I do? Help. fkapepa |

| 612332 | 2007-11-17 14:14:00 | well you havent changed your c drive have you so how could it suddenly show twice it's capacity.......you now have c and most likely d drive......both 80gb each..........you 'can' get them to 'appear' to 'merge' but you'll have to 'raid' em....... | drcspy (146) | ||
| 612333 | 2007-11-17 14:26:00 | Yes, like drcspy said to "see" it as 160g (unlikely) you'll have to turn it to RAID 0. But to do that you'll have to lose all your data....unless.. ..before you do it, install the drivers for RAID 0, and then make an image if your system |

Look for its drive letter in windows explorer. You can use it for storing data files. |
