We have server with 5 drives. Two make a RAID1 and this is the Windows2003-32bit OS as C:\ partition. Three drives make RAID5 and most programs are installed here,including SQL server 2005...this is partition D:\.
We need to change OS to Windows 2008-64bit, so will be reformatting RAID1. The SQL server will replaced by SQL 2008.
How will replacing OS affect programs in RAID5? For example, will they show up in Start>programs list? Will they be able to be uninstalled after OS is replaced if we want to..that is are they in Add/remove Programs? Whe should we uninstall SQL 2005?
Thanks
