>>>>>>>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

>Seems like I read somewhere a while back that installing SQL Server on a different drive than the OS can help with performance. Don't know if that's really true or not and even if it is I suspect it has a lot to do with how the server is setup.

You could be right or read right. I don't know.
