>>>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
>>
>>Do you really need to move the SQL Server installation, or just the databases.
>>
>>The installation doesn't take a great deal of disk space. Databases can be the real hogs. Moving databases is easy.

>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.

That is the safest way if you really need to do it.
