You can do it if both drives are formatted as NTFS. I no longer have an
NT system available to me, so I can't give you step-by-step
instructions, but what you're talking about is called a "Volume Set" in
NT speak. In the Administrative Tools menu folder, there is a function
called "Disk Administrator". That is the tool you'd use to accomplish
your goal.

Note that Volume Sets have one severe disadvantage: if you lose just one
drive in the set, you lose the whole volume.
