2HDS into 1

Okay, I have 2 hard disks, I 250GB and a 300GB. Is it possible to virtually combine them so it appears in "my computer" to have 550GB?

Thanks

Thats creating a copy of a disk onto another. Basically if he did that, he would only have 250GB of real storage.

Yeah, and I bet you were only able to use 40GB of space.

He wants all his HD space to be used.
