Thanks, but the db locations are not important as they are hosted on shared storage.<br />

The reason i need the SQL install location to be a different frive letter is for clustering. For example our primary SQL server is installed on drive g:\, and for clustering best practices (apparently) all other nodes in the cluster need to have the same drive letters.<br />

Hi experts,<br />
<br />
I have SQL 2005 installed on a Windows 2003R2 server. During installation i made the mistake of pointing the installation to e:\ in stead of my preffered drive letter of G:\.<br />
<br />
I am doubting a simple change of drive letter in the disc management will fix this issue as all the registry setting are set for E:\.<br />
<br />
Any ideas how i can work around this?<br />
<br />
Thankyou
