| You can't prevent SQL Server from putting files on the drive where the OS is installed. We always select the E drive for the installations, however MS requires that certain files be on the system drive. So you should see files on both C and D for your installation.With SQL 2005 sp2, you'll find that it requires a ton of disk space on the C drive. For this reason, we recommend that a minimum of 10GB be setup for the C drive.Tara KizerMicrosoft MVP for Windows Server System - SQL Serverhttp://weblogs.sqlteam.com/tarad/ |
