Or use Query analyser use master go sp_detach_db database-name go then move the files where you would like them use master go sp_attach_db databasename,'d:\sql_logs\logile.ldf','e:\sql_Data\datafile.mdf' go should be a walk in the park...

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
