I have an application using Windows 2003 that can only read from a single drive letter (no subdirectories so no using DFS). Does anyone know any way to make multiple drives to create 1 large drive? We are currently using a Netapp 3050c and we're trying to keep it as 2TB volumes given to the host for recoverability (backups, etc). Any recommendations would be great.

Is there a way to create a single drive from multiple NAS drives?

If you can carve out LUNs in the Netapp (or can see multiple disks in disk administrator) you can create a standard Windows spanned volume with up to 32 disks.
Windows 2003 standard will allow you to create up to 4TB volumes in this manner
If you need something larger than this then you will need to create GPT disk disk volumes (avail in Enteprise) which can allow up to 128TB (if i recall)
Hope this helps
