Not as in a RAID array, but to merge two or three separate hard drives appear as one giant F: in vista? The catch is that I would like to maintain structure of the individual partitions. Say a: is for music and b: is for movies, they would appear under f:, but anything in a designated music folder would go on that drive.

Probably a dumb question, but does anyone know how to do that?

-thanks in advance

C:\music will be a shortcut to a:
C:\movies to b:

Do you need something more ?

Why don't you just buy a whopping great big harddrive?
