Question : How do I Create new SharePoint server farm Database on different drive on same server

I need to know how to specifiy what drive my SQL installation is on to use when creating a brand new Installation of SharePoint for creating a new Server Farm.
This is a fresh install of MS SharePoint 2007 Server with no existing farms or databases.  I have a server with Windows Server 2003.  We have 6 drives set up with RAID.  The first two drives are set up as C:  and have the OS and will contain SharePoint software as well.  The last 4 drives are set up as D:  and I have installed SQL 2005 on that.

After installing SharePoint, choosing the advanced option and selecting the option to install everything on C, I am now to Server Farm Connection part of the wizzard.

1.  I choose, No I want to create a new server farm

I'm given the screen to specify config DB settings.  It asks for DB Server:  Mars                  DB name:  SP_Config        and then I give the user name and password and it completes everything fine.  

My problem with this is that it creates the DB and everything on C in its own SQL 2005 folder that was intstalled during this process and not on D: where I actually have the full SQL 2005 software installed and want all the database.

Is there a way to do this or have I gone about the intall in the wrong way?  Do I need to install SharePoint itself on the D drive in order for it to then create the DB.

Any advise is appreciated.  Thanks,

Run the SharePoint Products and Technologies Configuration Wizard
On the Welcome to SharePoint Products and Technologies page, click Next.

Click Yes in the dialog box that notifies you that some services might need to be restarted during configuration.

On the Connect to a server farm page, click No, I want to create a new server farm, and then click Next.

In the Specify Configuration Database Settings dialog box, in the Database server box, type the name of the computer that is running SQL Server.

Type a name for your configuration database in the Database name box, or use the default database name. The default name is "SharePoint_Config".

In the User name box, type the user name of the Server farm account. (Be sure to type the user name in the format DOMAIN\username.)

oh i see whats happening? so you have a copy of sql 2005 installed on your machine but when you install sharepoint it installs its own seperate copy of Sql server? what you need to do in the config is to act as if you have an external database server and specify it as your local machine name.
