By "default location", do you mean where the executables are installed?
Or do you mean where the data and log files are installed?

that.
Example, adding a bigger HDD to a system and needing new data bases to
default to the new drive.

Just add a new data file on the database to the new drive. SQL Server
will fill the data files (or log files) proportionally. If you want to
actually move the data and log files, you can use sp_detachdb and
sp_attach_db / sp_attach_single_file_db to disconnect them and reconnect
once they are on the new drive.

drive. I do not need to change the folder data bases are being stored in. I
need to change the DEFAULT drive.
It is looking like a re-installation.

Debug SProcs

I have both SQL2005 and Express installed on my local development machine. I
am able to step in / debug stored procedures in dbs on Express just fine.
Stepping into a stored procedure from within Visual Studio 2005 under the
full version of SQL on the local machine pops up the "run stored procedure"
dialog box under which I enter my parameters but then things just seem to
hang, never reaching my breakpoint. When I click on the "Stop Debugging"
button, control is returned to VS.
Any ideas?
The output window contains the following:
Auto-attach to process '[1168] [SQL] webdev1' on machine 'webdev1'
succeeded.
The thread 'webdev1 [56]' (0xdd0) has exited with code 0 (0x0).
The thread 'webdev1 [56]' (0xdd0) has exited with code 0 (0x0).
The thread 'webdev1 [56]' (0xdd0) has exited with code 0 (0x0).
The thread 'webdev1 [56]' (0xdd0) has exited with code 0 (0x0).
Running [dbo].[CartToOrder] ( @.BrowserID = 5).
(Click on the stop debugging button).
The thread 'webdev1 [56]' (0xdd0) has exited with code 0 (0x0).
The program '[1168] [SQL] webdev1: webdev1' has exited with code 0 (0x0).
Batch execution is terminated because of debugger request.
No rows affected.
(0 row(s) returned)
@.RETURN_VALUE =
Finished running [dbo].[CartToOrder].
Andrew RobinsonHello Andrew,
You may want to run the SP directly in SSMS to see if it hangs. Also, you
may try to create a new simple SP on a new database to test the situation.
To find out the root cause of this issue we may need to analyze memory
dumps, this work has to be done by contacting Microsoft Product Support
Services. Therefore, we probably will not be able to resolve the issue
through the newsgroup. I recommend that you open a Support incident with
Microsoft Product Support Services so that a dedicated Support Professional
can assist with this case. If you need any help in this regard, please let
