SQL Server 2000
The database files are distributed in 2 physical disks (which are assigned to 2 user defined filegroups). My task is to move (merge) data from these files to 1 physical disk (the second disk will be removed). I have tried to alter the file's size and filegrowth to zero, but sql server does not accept it since the size was smaller than the current size.
Is there a way to move/relocate/merge the database files ? Thanks for any response.

In EM right click on the DB - All tasks - Detach Database. Then move the files and attach the files back to the SQL Server using All Tasks - Attach database.

Take a look at BOL - DBCC Shrinkfile using the Emptyfile parameter, I think it will be a better solution than detach/attach.
