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 unformatt

Re: [H] OT Inclined planes
