Hi all,

I run windows 2000 Server with SQL Server 2000 enterprise.
Here is my problem :

I often have a problem with my free disk space available on c:\ because of a file called my_db.LDF (1.5Go minimum) in c:\program files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\DATA\ that was growing a lot sometimes...

I decided to add a new hard disk, which is now E:\ where I wanted to move that file in order to leave it growing as big as it wants.

NB : there is too a *.MDF file with the same name here too...maybe should i move that too)

But i'm unable to do it.
Can someone help me on it please, i'm really new to MS SQL SERVER...

Thanks a lot

Florent

Connect using a local windows admin account. Then go to the userid that is having the problem and change the default database. Then try connecting with that account.
