greetings!

I have inheirited a S2K box that someone else set up which is the backend for a moderately important application. this morning I started getting paged that the "C:" drive was filling up. I drilled down until I found that whatever rocket scientist set up that server had put the physical files for master, model & tempdb on "C:" instead of the RAID array with the others.

my question is that since these DBs don't have the "take offline" or "detach" options how can I move them off the system drive to the array?

please be gentle as I openly admit I'm an Oracle/*nix guy by training so sorry if this is a stupid ?...
