I found that SQL2K5 doesn't prompt for file locations while installing - for binaries and databases. Is this the default behavior?

At the time of installation of SQL 2k5 it will ask you for the binaries. Once you get the feature selection scrren at that time you could be able to select. I would recommed you to keep you Binaries in D:\ Drive C is for OS and E for DATA F LOG and G for Backup. If have one more drive then it would be for TEMP DB.

I was expecting the installation process to prompt me for file location. But it didn't; Guess I am missing something.

Mdubey, He is looking for file location while installing. Basically, you have to choose Advanced options and specify the location.
