    I have a spare 60Gb Hard Drive and I was wondering is there a way to fit into my computer which has an 80Gb Hard Drive to form one 140Gb Hard Drive?

    Sorry if this is a dumb question but I'm no expert you see! lol

    Thanks in advance!

    Well, depending on what these hard drives are like and the technology your computer implements, its possible that you can combine these drives in RAID to form something that your operating system would recognize as a single, logical disk. However, unless you are doing something very storage intensive (such as video or audio editing) or have a very strong need for data security, I wouldn't recommend trying to put these two together.
