Hey everyone, I saw a post about using Windows Disk Management in XP to combine disks into one, I am interested in doing this. See, my job provides me on occasion with a salvage computer that is more often than not in perfect working order, though dated, and I scavenge the harddrive from it. I have a 200 Gig IDE and a 4 gig IDE (I did say dated, didn't I?) and I want to combine them. My main drive is a 500 Gig SATA, plugged into SATA port 1. When I plug in the 4 gig as a slave (for this particular drive it's no jumper), it works, the drive shows up, (but as Disk 0 in Disk Management, which I want to not have), but when I plug in the 200 Gig (as a slave, which in this drive's case is this configuration):
:::|:
in addition to the 4 gig drive (still in slave), neither shows up. Does one have to be in Master mode? Wouldn't that make it my boot drive? How do I make it not show up as Disk 0 (I want my main SATA disk be Disk 0). Anyways, it just seemed that you all were the best people to ask since the question in the other thread was answered so well. Any help would be very extremely mucho appreciated.
Thank you all in advance!
