How to combine hard drives

Combine two disks, rather, to combine two volumes - means the same thing. On two disks, information can be recorded. When combined, we get one of the greater size. Just like the division of Tom, the association can be made by regular Windows, or install special programs. With the help of software, it will be able to connect two volumes without losing information.

Method 1. Combine two disks at one quickly and without loss of information, you can program "Easeus Partition Master Free Edition". Download it from the official site for free by link. Download and run the program installer. When installing the mail, you can not specify with the Tuneup utilities optimizer to remove the checkbox, it is not needed.

Run the program. In the main window, specify "Disc1" to merge and the "Merge (merger) command. For example, there are disks E: and F:, you want to get a disk E: the size of which is equal to the sum of the volumes of two disks E: and F:.

3
In the next window, check "Disc2" for merge, press OK. The program will work in a deferred operation mode, so in a new window, select the "Apply" tool and press OK. Then the notification respond to "YES". The process of combining disks has begun. Enter the "Disk Management" section and check the result - instead of two disks E: and F: you will see only E: with an increased size. Data from Tom F: Not lost, they are copied to the "Local Disk F" folder on the disk E:

Method 2. Combine the hard disk partitions using the Acronis Disk Director Suite program. Download on the Internet and install the specified software. Close all windows with files and running programs. Run "Acronis", select the disk removed and right-click on it. Open the context menu. In it, select Merge "Combine".

5
In the open window, select another disc partition that you need to merge and click "Next". In the window that opens, specify a disc partition where you want to record information from a united disk. You can create a new folder and save all data into it - "Creating a new folder" - specify the folder name - "OK".

6
Select "Operations" - "Run" in the main program window. In the next window, click the "Stay" button. The section can be deleted without combining information.

7
The process of combining disk partitions will be managed by MS-DOS. Therefore, a reboot of the operating system will be performed. Select "Restart" in the Warning window. The process of combining partitions and overwriting information passes during OS load and can last for hours, you can leave a computer at this time without supervision.

8
Upon completion of the program, the program will be released a message about the merger of two sections. You can combine the disk partitions using the Acronis program, even if they have a different file system (FAT32 and NTFS).

To combine two disks with standard Windows tools is not possible without losing information. You can copy the data to an external disk in advance, then delete the section and attach the free disk space to another. It remains only to restore information from the external medium. Instructions, how to do this, read on the site in the article "How to delete hard disk sections".

Under the union of the disks is meant to remove one of the disks and the attachment of the disk space to another. What is performed by the programs described. It is not about the confluence of discs at the physical level. "Banal" knowledge is very useful to novice users.
