    Rebuild the clustered index on the new filegroup.

    Thanks for the reply Steve.

    I got one more way through EM

    Right click table in EM -> design table -> table property -> table filegroup.

    - A clustered index _contains_ the datapages (leaflevel)  !

    - if you create a table on a specific filegroup, if there is no clustering index, the data will reside on the filegroup of the table.

    - if you create a clustering index on a different filegroup than the table, your data will reside in the filegroup of the clustering index. If you then drop the clustering index, the data will move back again to the filegroup of the table.

    - in most cases (oltp) it's best to have a clustering index
