I apologize ahead of time for how confusing this may be. I am very new to things such as partitions, disks, and hard drives.
When I installed Ubuntu there were two options, install on a 24 GB HD and install on a 750 GB HD, the first time I installed I used the 750 GB HD, but had boot issues. I'm now using the 24 GB HD but I want to save files to the 750 GB HD. Is there a way I can merge the two, or at least merge some of the 750 GB HD to the 24 GB HD?
I've tried using GParted to merge but can't seem to combine the drives. I want the OS to remain on the 24 GB HD but I want my files on the 750 GB HD. I could just try to re-route everything to go to the 750 GB Volume and leave it at that, but is there an easier way.

. I would also suggest you remove the history, just explain what you need to do now rather than what you've done in the past. Also, please explain why you need to "merge". I suspect all you want is to be able to save your files on the 750 HD. There's no reason to "merge" the two, you can use both of them. – terdon Sep 8 '14 at 23:43/boot

on your smaller hard disk, but other directories like/usr
and/home
on the larger one. It's a slightly complicated process involving drive flags. I don't recommend that for you now, however, as you're new to drive partitioning. – Drew Stewart Sep 9 '14 at 0:02
