Re: [H] 2 hard drives into one.
I suggest that you clone those 2 drives as soon as possible. As John said Use ghost or another software to clone the C drive. But, there is also a way to partition the 500GB drive and clone the volumes to the first and second on the 500gd drive as well. I am unsure of the name of the software though.

I want to get a SATA 500 and make the two drives with their partitions all to the one drive. Is this possible and will I be able to save the order of the partitions and the ability to boot from the C: boot partition?

Re: [H] 2 hard drives into one.
You should be able to Ghost the current C: drive to the new 500 gigger, but don't tell it to use the whole drive, only use 200 or 250 or whatever you wish for the C: boot drive to have... Then the new 500 gig drive would be your C: drive and would have whatever number of gigs left unformatted for a second partition. Format and use the unused space as a second partition for the second drive to be copied to... Then you would have C: and D: as different partitions on the same bootable 500 gig drive...
