change home and data directories

I'm planning to establish a recovery plan for my SQLServer 2000
databases. How to change home and data directories?I'm not sure I understand what you mean by 'home and data directories'.
Usually, a DR recovery step includes either restoring the entire OS onto
identical hardware or reinstalling SQL Server. In the latter case, you can
specify the SQL Server installation and file paths.

You can restore from SQL Server database and transaction log backups to the
location of you choice after the server is prepared.

Certification Question

Hi all,

I am new to Sql Server 2005

I planning to take exam MCTP exam 70-445

is the cert 70-431 a pre-requisite for certs 70-445 and 70-446?

Thanks and regards

Currently, according to the 'official' Microsoft websites, 431 is NOT required for SQL BI certification.
