actually, i have the same problem, i have 2 databases that are on a drive and due to space problem, i need to move them into a new Drive, the 2 databases are replicated into 3 sites,

i was following your steps but i had an error when executing

"update sysdatabases set category=0 where name='myDBName' : Ad hoc updates to system catalogs are not allowed

how can we solve the issue ???

P.S. i'm using Microsoft Sql Server 2005 Standard

Thank You,
