Use ADSI Edit and modify the registry to move components

In Exchange Server 5.5 and earlier versions, the Exchange Performance Optimizer lets you tune and customize Exchange. Exchange 2000 Server doesn't include an equivalent tool to tailor the finer points of an installation. However, you can use tools such as ADSI Edit and regedt32 to customize an Exchange 2000 installation. Let's see what these tools can do to help you in your installation tasks. (I don't cover performance tuning in this article.)

Improve Exchange Performance
You can optimize Exchange performance by distributing the various components across different drives instead of placing all the components on one drive. For example, transaction logs and Exchange databases (.edb and .stm files) should be on separate drives. Separating the databases and logs from the other components also makes file-based virus scanning easier because you can exclude the database and transaction log drives from scans. . . .
