I just bought an enclosure that automatically tries to do JBOD when both HD
slots are occupied. Currently, only one of my drives shows up in My
Computer. I discovered using Disk Management that both drives show up as a
single 2-partition disk and the second drive appears appended to the first as
unallocated space even though they are both NTFS-formatted. Can I expand the
first drive/partition through the second without losing the data on the
second drive?

Hi,

No, if you expand the first disk's volume onto the second, it will wipe
existing data. You might instead try the option to import foreign disks.
