[AccessD] SQL Server database

Is your 'server' actually running Windows 2000 server?  If that's the case,
just mirror the OS (and whatever drives you want to move to the bigger hard
drive), break the mirror, and boot from your new drive.  (I did that on my
server a year ago, took about 30 minutes to change the HD that had my root
drive on it from 8 gig to 20 gig.

The OS won't let you change the size of the root drive, but it should let
you change the size of other volumes. (if not, you could use Partition Magic
(I think...I don't personally use that!)

I need to replace my hard disk in my server with a bigger model.  This will
involve a complete re-install (it's time!).  The question is, do I need to
do a backup of the SQL Server database or will a new install be able to just
use an existing database?
