No, hes partitioned them. By drives he meant removable media I think.

well first of all, i had a 10 gig hard drive, but that wasnt enough so i added another 60 gig hard drive into my pc

so altogether is 70 gigs. the benefit of having multiple partitions is just to sort out ur stuff. as u can see, some says media, , other says program on my comp, so its just a way for me to organise my things in my comp. i have one partition thats just for the windows os so when i have to format my comp, my songs n stuff will be in my other partitions taht doesnt have the os in it

wait, r u trying to say that if u split it, u'll have to format ur comp to get it back to its original partition? if thats wat ure saying, then thats not the case. once u split it, it remains split n if u want to merge them together again, just merge them again. formatting it doesnt get it back to ur main 2 drives.
