Hi SQL Guru's ,
I have scenario over here .
I had installed sql server 2008 binary to F: drive ,and Data files to E: drive,i made mistake over here. The truth is that binary should go to E: drive and data files should go F: drive.
So here is my questions.
1)Is there any possibilities to change directory of binary from F: drive to E: drive ,Without uninstalling the sql server.
--------Waiting for your answer .
Thanks and regards

This kind of sounds like "can I move the sink from the bathroom to the kitchen without unhooking the lines"? You can install a new instance on the correct drive, then mount all the databases to the new instance. Of course anything that connects it will no longer be connecting to the same server.

Nope. None whatsoever.
You can move data and log files, but to move the binaries requires an uninstall/reinstall.
