| 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.

The first answer in this Stack Exchange item looks useful.

In particular, when you install most applications, you can specify
where they should be loaded.
