    Hi,

    I need to move the system databases on a server from C drive to D and E drive. I have not done this before. This needs to be done asap.

    Can someone let me know the exact steps to be followed so that i can test it out before doing it in the live environment?

    Thanks in advance.

    As part of your testing do not forget to attempt to patch SQL Server.

    During SQL Server patching you are going to find out if hidden mssqlsystemresource database is in the right place or not.
