Hello!

I have 2 harddisk in my computer and I have SQL 2005 Express on 1 of them (let's say C:), however, my C: is going to be full soon! Once it is full, is it possible to create a table on my other harddisk which the server can recognise?

Thanks!
OB

You can move db to another drive with detach and attach.

Hi Rmiao, can you elaborate more about this? Are detach and attach functionality of SQL Server?

Yes. You can right click on the db in ssms, go to tsks -> detach. Then move db files to new location, right click on databases and choose attch in ssms.
