>>Hi,
>>
>>I installed SQL Server 2008 Express on customer server. During the installation I didn't see the option to specify where to install it. So it got installed on C: driver. The customer IT says he wants me to move it to the E: driver. I am looking at the Control Panel -> Programs and Features and see many Microsoft SQL Server ??? items installed today. Do I need to uninstaller all of them? Here is the list of the items I see:
>>MS SQL Server 2008 R2 (64-bit)
>>MS SQL Server 2008 R2 Native Client
>>MS SQL Server 2008 R2 Policies
>>MS SQL Server 2008 R2 Setup (English)
>>MS SQL Server 2008 Setup support Files
>>MS SQL Server Browser
>>
>>Please let me know if you suggest I uninstall or just some of the above? TIA

He wants me to move the entire program on E: drive. I don't know why. I know what placing database will be easy.
I guess I will have to unstall everything and trying installing again.
Thank you.
