Hello,
I have a SQL 2000 installation on a small partion that I would like to
move to a second larger partion on the same disk array array with the
config as follows:
d: full installation of prod and test instances with data and log files
100 GB
e: empty partion with 204 GB which I want to move the "whole thing"
I did an Xcopy of all files,permissions and attributes, checked for
errors, then I changed drive
letters and restarted. Only one instance came up (the other threw an
error of: MSSQL,,the system cannot find the file specified.
I realize that I could detatch the DB's and move them leaving the base
install on the old partition however I would like to simulate the loss
of the disk array and the restore to said array from a backup.
(ultimately I want to delete the 2 partitions and restore from tape to
a single 300GB d: partition)
I am trying to buy time and avoid a re-install of SQL untill I can get
a whole new platform.
I can work it out on my own if someone can point me in the right
direction. I suspect a registry entry to a disk id (partition)
