SQL installation

I do not know how it happened, but the fact is: i installed SQL Server (by mistake, just did not pay enough attention) on C: drive instead of D:. This server meant to be a production server. It will run in parallel with another one (we have two data centers).
My question is: will I have any potential problems in the future?
Since server build is completed, should I go for uninstall only because of this or not. Thanks in advance V.Vartanyan
I don’t see any problem with that.
You have installed SQL in C:, did you install databases, etc. in other driver?

No raid, just because another server has SQL Installation on D: and they should be identical. Thanks V.Vartanyan
I suppose not RAID in D also.
If this is a production server, and no raid at all in OS and SQL disks, you are in risk. I suggest to mirror C and D.

Make sure the physical memory is equipped to resource the SQL Server and any other applications on that server, if there are 2 instances of SQL server then ensure to propogate higher memory for optimum performance. Satya SKJ
