Move an extended website to a different drive

We are getting low on space on the drive at our hosting company. They have
added another (larger) drive and we want to move our existing websites to the
new drive. We are running Windows Server 2000 with FrontPage extensions.

My question is do we need to uninstall the server extensions, the change the
home directory in IIS 6.0 and then reapply the server extensions? We tried
moving 1 of our sites to the new drive & point the IIS home directory to that
new drive, then reapplying the extensions & that did not work..the site would
not come up. Is the key to getting it to work uninstalling the server
extensions? Would like to know before trying it again.

Thank you!
