   Should be a pretty straightforward (albeit 2-step) process from within   
   the live session (installer).  It also depends a little bit on what you   
   mean by "the data" -- for the rest here, I'm going to assume you mean   
   "user data" (i.e. home directories).   
      
   This is all done in the live session, there may be easier methods.   
      
   1. Install everything to the 250G drive, as per "normal" installation.   
       Do not reboot after the installer completes.   
   2. Manually format the 1T drive to EXT4 (use gparted).   
   3. Mount both the newly-installed ("NI") system and "data" drive.   
   4. Move the directory "NI"/home/username to "data"/username   
   5. Get the UUID of the "data" drive with lsblk   
   6. Edit "NI"/etc/fstab to include a mounting point for the data drive:   
       UUID=xxxxx /home ext4 defaults 0 0   
   7. Reboot into the newly-installed system   
      
   If you mean something else, please can you clarify / explain your   
   envisioned usage?
