Hope that made since.
I would like to put in 3 hard drives into 1 PC
but as far as windows would know  it is 1 large hard drive.
3 seventy gig hard drives and have windoes see it as 1 hard drive at 210 gigs.

can this be done?

Do I dare ask why?
daywane:
AtomicFe will not do sub folders
I want to finish up my console PC . Atomics plug n play folder can get  huge rather fast.

so I hope to use the Hard Drives I have here or I will have to buy 1 very large Hard Drive

Yes. it is called spanning.  It will either be fun or impossible sepending on your version of windows.

EDIT: Sorry posted Out of Date info.

If you are using XP or 2000, then you can span and mount the 2 extra drives into a folder on your C drive.

The 3 drives need to be formatted as NTFS, then go to "Disk Managment", convert the 2 drives to Dynamic disks, then you can create a spanned drive across them, then you can mount it as a folder.

Alternatively (and more easily) you can mount Each extra drive as a folder.
