Thanks for the replies. This is what I was looking for. We have yet to setup a new DB therefore we didn?t need the detach/attach method. Not yet anyway. Again, thanks for all of the replies. _____ From: windows2000-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:windows2000-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Mauricio Fernandez Sent: Wednesday, June 22, 2005 7:31 AM To: windows2000@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [windows2000] Re: SQL Server 2K Question Open Enterprise manager, right click on the Sever and choose Properties ? go to DATABASE SETTINGS tab and there is a place to choose the folders for Data and log files. There is a way to change the location of existing data files, but I prefer to create a new DB with the files located in the new drive and copy the data from old DB to the new one.

Is there any way to change the drive where the data files will reside? I know when you create a new DB that you can choose where to put the data files but I want the data files to default to this new drive. TIA Ron
