For SQL you can specify the different drive for databases during the
installation, it will create is MSSQL folders on that drive. You can
also specify the default location of new databases in the properties
of the SQL Server in Enterprise Manger.

For Exchange, you can create new mailbox stores and log locations
after installation and even move them to new locations if you want
to via the Mailbox store properties on the Database tab.
