  • First thing after merging two disk they go from basic to dynamic, and windows can't run in dynamic drive so C drive must be in third hard disk.

    To merge two hard disk drives-0 and drive-01, make a backup of disk-0 which is merged with disk-01. For merge two hard disk steps are Following

    Step 1 - Step 1 - Go to THIS PC and right click and  Go to >  manage

     

    Step 2 - Under Manage, go to Disk Management where we can see all our hard drives

     

    Step 3 - so here we have To delete the contents of Disk-0, right click on Disk-0 and select Delete Volume. After deleting the volume of disk-0 it will be shown as unallocated

     

    Step 4 - Now right click on disk-01 to extend volume, select disk 0 and click on add list and got to next.

     

     

    After finished we can see both disk as same name with same color.

    Both disks were basic before but after merging they become dynamic, windows operating system can't run in dynamic drive so before finishing step-4 a warning show but our windows is installed in disk-2, any change won't affect c drive.

     

     

    Step 5 - Restart your computer if the merge disk disappeared then again  go to disk management and right click on disk 0 and go to import foreign disk and click ok then you can see your merge disk in the pc.
