I want to install SQL Server so at least the tables are stored on a D: drive rather than the default C: drive. If I can get the whole thing there, it would be best.

While installing S.S. the first time, I only came across one place to change a directory. After changing it, tables were still placed on the C: drive.

I am working with SQL Server 2005 Standard edition and using default settings, except for the directory of course.

Thanks for your help.

Steve

You have to do a custom setup if you want the drive to be D when you create your database using Enterprise Manager. But if you used Query Analyzer to create it via CREATE DATABASE command, then you can change the drive letter from code.
