So I have my main hard drive at C:\ which I installed Ubuntu Server 14 on. I have a second hard drive with nothing in it at D:\ how can I combine them?

What I want:
C:\ drive is 180 GB. and D:\ drive by is 80 GB. I want a single drive with 260 GB.

Is thispossible? I'm using Ubuntu Server 14 on a virtual Machine using Windows.
It's not a fresh clean install, but I only used it to test stuff.

  • RAID is something completely different that allows you to increase speed or increase data safety with several disks (wikipedia). You can use gparted to address you problem, and should back up any important data before proceeding. (be really atentive to the warnings it gives you before pressing ok :) ) – Aserre Jul 21 '14 at 09:53

If your Ubuntu is a virtual machine it is installed on a virtual hard drive you created when creating the virtual machine not on either of your hard drives (which would not be named C or D under Ubuntu.

If you want to give Ubuntu the full 260 GB of space you have to install it natively and JBOD.
Else your Windows host system will always take up some space.
