I have two 80Gb hard drives but I need room for a 85Gb file. My first hard drive has windows on it (about 50Gb left) and my second hard drive is used to back-up my Documents: Pictures, music, etc (about 60Gb left). Is it possible to simulate a 100Gb hard drive using the lelft over room on my two 80Gb hard drives?

Nope.
An 85G file is pretty huge....what is it for ? ?

you can setup your harddrives in a RAID 0 setup, assuming your mobo can handle a RAID array and assuming your fine having both of your harddrives reformatted.

TrueNorth... It is already compressed.

Homer... My puter supports RAID 0, so I will look at this option

Thank you guys for the info...
