I'm trying to join a partition on a drive ( disk 0, part 2) to an emty hard
drive ( disk 1 ).

It's seems strange to me that if I try to do such an operation using other
partitions, it does work.

i.e. :

disk 0 : sata, ~400 gb, volume C, volume D
disk 1 : pata, ~300 gb EMPTY
disk 2 : pata, ~120 gb, volume E

I'm able to extend volume E using empty space on disk 1

I'm NOT able to extend volume D using empty space on disk 1.

Sigh ....
