Ok, so tomorrow I have a 40GB Maxtor Diamondmax coming. I have a 10GB Seagate in my computer now with XP installed. How can I set it to where Windows recognizes these drives as one, instead of two seperate drives.

You are talking about raid, but i cant remember if it is raid0 or raid1, or either. Check the raid101s.

RAID 0 is combining.

The only way to combine drives is to RAID them, im not sure if it will work with two different drives, since its meant for use with identical drives. If it does, it will only see the 40gb as a 10gb.

You need a RAID controller in order to have RAID. If your have a fairly new motherboard, odds are it has built-in RAID, if not then you have to buy a controller.
