Can I combine two hard drives into one?
-
I am buying a new laptop that supports two hard drives (XPS 17) but no raid 0 support. Is it possible to combine two hard drives on a windows 7 Pro install? If so how can this be done?

Answer:
Windows 7 pro does support software raid, however you won't be able to create a stripe set with the os installed on. The best you could do would be to create either a mirror for data resilience or a span for a massive disk! You can do it all from disk management, and there are nice instructions here: http://www.softwaresecretweapons.com/jspwiki/windows-7-software-raid-disk-partition-and-volume-context-menus

You can do it with a directory soft link, which in the NT world are called junction points. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896768 modern file systems like btrfs support filesystem expansion to new drives
