Hi

Ive got 2 hard disk drives on my laptop, but one only has about 4 GB of memory left, ive got another one which can hold 111 GB of memory, I moved a game over the the empty hardrive, but it wont play anymore.

IS their anyway you can make both hardrives work as one?

Ok, two entirely different issues here.

But one can be answered quite simply:

No, they can't act as one. That would need a partition accross two drives, which cannot be done. Not at the moment anyway.


As for the game you moved over, this will be most likely *EDIT - It will be* because you didn't move all of the files.

It would be best for you to reinstall it on the other hard drive.

You cannot just move the game over, it needs to be uninstalled via add/remove programs then when installing again select the other drive.

Are you certain you have 2 x drives on your Laptop and not 2 x partitions on a single drive ?

If the latter, you could incorpotate (merge) the 2 partitions.
