Home Forums SQL Server 2008 SQL Server 2008 - General Should I configure the second sql instance to use same C:\ drive root directory path as the exiting Default instance? RE: Should I configure the second sql instance to use same C:\ drive root directory path as the exiting Default instance?

  • But aren't there some 'shared' files/folders/etc. that will need to be updated (or written to) on the default instance's root directory when the second instance is installed?

    So what happens to these shared files/folder/etc. if that second instance is installed on another drive?
