help with server replacement

i'm replacing a server in the next few weeks.
the old server has all database files, log files, and error files on
f:\sql which is a drive on a san.
sql2000 program files are on c: and d:.
the new server will have the same name and same IP as the old server.
the only difference is new one is win2003 and old one is win2000.
i'm wondering if this will work.
create disk partition on new server f:
install sql2000 program files on c: and d:.
install sql2000 data, log, and error files in f:\sql
shut down sql2000.
delete f:
shut down old server.
connect new server to network.
attach the san drive to new server as f: (has all the databases from old
server).
start sql server.
think that will work?
or will i have to install master, model, msdb, tempdb on e: and then
detach the ones on e: and then attach the ones on f:?
last time i did that, it was a nightmare. i couldn't get sql server to
start for like an hour because the kb article had faulty instructions.Hi,
There are several factors you need to consider. I suggest you go through
these articles, list down each of the activities (something like checklist)
and execute it.
