Windows 8: Can I create a spanned volume for the system drive at installation?

0

I would like to increase the Windows 8 system disk space using a spanned volume. It seems I can't create a spanned volume for the system drive after I have installed the system.

Can I create a spanned volume for the system drive during the installation of Windows 8?

FYI spanned volumes are not RAID. – Keltari – 2014-06-16T06:37:26.793

Unfortunately, this is not possible at the install phase of windows.

What you need to consider is potentially using RAID (0, 5, 0+1 or similar) to create a larger "span" of disks and then create a larger logical drive to install your operating system onto.

Hope this helps,

Sorry for my ignorance. This method requires RAID drivers. Correct? – user333646 – 2014-06-17T06:52:59.370
