I am having short place in the disk where my TFS server is installed and i want to move some projet collections to a different disk on network where there is more place, can i proceed this moving without reinstalling again TFS and detach the collection and attach it again ?

TFS installation is server specific. On that server you will have your collection db named: Tfs_XXX along with that you have your warehouse, sharepoint, reporting and configuration tables.
I think what you are asking is “Can I have X team project on server X and Y team project on server Y but still only have one installation of TFS to manage them both” or “Can I have X Collection on server X and Y collection on server Y but still only have one installation of TFS to manage them both”
The answer to both questions is no. Server has collections – Collections have Team Projects.
You will need to have a separate installation if you want to move your Collection or Team Project to another server.
What our team does is run TFS in a Virtual Image so that we can dynamically expand the drive as needed. You may want to consider a similar solution assuming you have the hardware to do it. Alternatively, you can ofcourse expand your drive or setup tasks to Shrink your db.
