title: SQL Server 2008 Installation move from C to D
body: <p>I have a client that has SQL Server 2008 installed on their C drive which is 39GB (0.5GB free disk space left), and I want to move this to D: which is 180GB (160GB free).</p>
  
  <p>I know you can change the installation path to D:\ on a clean install but I was wondering if this was possible to move the destination path for the database files from C:\ to D:\ without having to re-install SQL Server 2008.</p>
  
  <p>I can take their databases offline and copy and move the database files, I am just hoping I can change the directory as it would save a lot of time.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance.</p>
