Making 3-HDD's one HDD on XP...???

[Deviouz]

i got 3 SATA 3Gb's 500GB Maxtor HDD's that already have data on them on my XP Pro PC..

How can i combine all 3 of these drives to make them one single drive letter...?? and when i open the drive in explorer it shows all the files from all 3 HDD's in there..???

You cannot. You need to do a cut and paste, copying the data from each to a master drive... or deal with the data individually on each drive.

isnt there a way to setup a RAID configuration or something..???

Take a look at that article - although placing files on the drive might look a bit strange as it fills up.

I think you would benefit from doing a lot of reading about raid and hard drive configurations... from Scott Muellars book, or a good Windows compendium... Windows XP Tips and Techniques, Windows XP Professional Resource Kit, Windows XP for Hackers.
There is just too much to know to tell you in these little blurbs on this forum.

If you want to keep all your files an all the drives, then you have to use this mounting thing.

If you have the space to move data around, read up on Dynamic Disks: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308424
