• Hopefully someone still watches this. I ran this and everything looked great and moved as expected but the services did not start. When you attempt to start the services for this instance, I get the following in the logs:

    FileMgr::StartLogFiles: Operating system error 2(The system cannot find the file specified.) occurred while creating or opening file 'D:\mssql\MSSQL$WO\MSSQL.7\MSSQL\DATA\mssqlsystemresource.ldf'. Diagnose and correct the operating system error, and retry the operation.

    That path is the old path and mssqlsystemresource.ldf and .mdf files are both in the new path as expected. Why is it still looking for it in the old path? I need to get his instance back up and running and don't know what I can do now.

    Thanks.
