You could get a PCI raid controller card. With a raid 0 configuration you could use two 20gb hard drives to act as one 40 gb hard drive with almost twice the speed. You could do the same with the other two drives but you would need to reinstall windows as there is no easy way to split a windows installation between the two drives. Besides the driver needs to be installed from a floppy or cd during a fresh windows installation. There's one drawback to a raid 0 setup. If one drive goes bad you loose everything.

BTW it wouldn't hurt to add more ram. Windows would love another 256 mb.

If these are 4 physically different hard drives, you can not "club" them all together. You can only join together partitions on the same hard drive, not different hard drives

If they are 4 partitions on a single physical drive, then you can join them together. But you would have to back up any data (pictures, music, video, documents, etc.) that you want, use the fdisk utility to delete all four partition, create and format a single partition, and reinstall Windows, all your other programs and your data.

Or you can purchase a progam like Partition Magic which will allow you to increase the size of a partition without losing the data on it. Only thing is, it can only do that on the main partition (the c: drive). If you increase the size of the C: drive to include the space of the other partitions, it will wipe the other partitions. So you would have to back up the other three partitions. But you would not have to reinstall Windows.

Hope that answers the question...
