<p>Thanks guys for the tips on Gparted. I had already gone ahead
with using links. I'm not much of a Windows person so get nervous
moving stuff around in there. I discovered that I couldn't move
the folder (Program Files) to a drive other than the one that
Windows was on. Super frustrating. Anyway I freed up enough space
moving a couple other folders. I just wasn't sure if Gparted
could join 2 different physical drives to make it look like 1.
Unfortunate there is a couple of programs that I need to use
Windows for. Thanks again for all the help.</p>

If you partition a USB drive with "fdisk" and with
"gparted" and compare the MBR, you will see gparted puts
lots of data into MBR whereas fdisk modifies just the
partition table.</font></div>

<div>I don't think I've ever actually partitioned a usb drive.
I've only used dd to create a boot usb via a ready made
distribution iso. <br>

<div>I have used gparted to revert GPT to MBR when I was
dealing with UEFI issues, but that was more about me
crawling up the learning curve than anything else. <br>

<div>I believe most, at least the most mainstream linux
distros, are installed using GPT as it can handle drives
larger than 2tb.<br>
