Here’s an interesting little change that Microsoft made to the Backup/Restore wizard with respect to default file naming (it’s not related to default file path, but since we are relating to the backup/restore wizard in this post, I thought of adding my 2 cents :))

MS Connect Case #668566 – http://beyondrelational.com/modules/2/blogs/77/posts/11327/ssms-database-restore-physical-file-names-should-default-to-logical-file-names-ms-connect-case-66856.aspx

Good overview, but unfortunately you haven’t tried to set the DB and Log location to an other than the system drive. In our situation I’ve configured the DB and Log location during the setup to point to S:\MSSQL\DATA and L:\MSSQL\LOGS respectively. Directories are indeed created, but when I put a mdf and ldf in the correct directory and want to attache that DB, I can only brows the c:\ drive.
The MSSQLSERVER account and the account the SQL service is running with do have “Full control” on the S and L drive.
I’ve not seen any post about others having the same probelem. Any suggestions?
