You can detach and reattach the databases. Before you reattach them, copy
them to the new drive. To attach, connect to your SQL Server in SQL Server
Management Studio and drill down to the databases folder, right click on the
databases folder, and select Attach.

|||You can't detach it. The SQL Server requires it to be there in order to
function. If you could detach it, it would imediately take the entire SQL
Server offline which would prevent you from attaching it again. BOL has a
very detailed document for moving system databases.
