okay, so hopefully this is simple. i have a db i have to restore, problem is, server THINKS there's not enough space.

my server is setup like this:

C: OS
D: SQL
D:\DRIVES\DISK1
D:\DRIVES\DISK2
D:\DRIVES\DISK3

DB is spanned across disk 1/2/3. so the server is calculating free space on d:\ thinking that's the disk everything does, when in reality, the mount points are on 3 separate disks.

any way to override the free space check when restoring dbs?

Could you post the full text of error message here? How do you restore the database?
