5 Phsical drives but 1 Partition???

I was wondering if I could fool windows, or use windows to create 1 partition out of 5 drives?



I am turning an old PC into a media server, and have a bunch (5) of old hard drives ranging in size and manufacturer. Instead of having 5 partitions for each drive, I would like to combine them, just for convenience. I will storing a lot of large movies files from 4.5-15 GB each and don't really feel like alphabetizing them on 5 drives.



Any thoughts are welcome!



Thanks.

I'm quite sure with RAID 0, you could use different sized drives, resulting in five times the size of the smallest drive.

yes, its called dynamic disks and you can set it up in windows xp (haven't tried it in vista). google it

I knew there was something...



Only problem is I only found 3 Hdds 1 is for the OS.
