Moving an SQL 2000 database

I am going to be performing an upgrade on a 2000 server. I
will be adding two drives (mirrored). The server is
running 'ACT! Web' which uses SQL. I would like to move
the SQL database to the newly created volume, I am very
green when it comes to SQL, so I don't really know where
to begin.
If anyone hase some suggestions please post.Look up sp_detach_db and sp_attach_db in BOL.
