There are command line parameters that let you do this, but honestly, I found that just replacing the default directory with a symbolic link to where I want the files was the easiest. I have tested that symbolic links work for windows, but directory junctions do not.

Go in File/Settings..  and edit the drive letter in Bitcoin Home Dir to match your hard drive where you've stored the blockchain.

Worked for me anyway

I know the blockchain is huge (like 50 GB) and I wanna save it to my 1 TB hard drive instead of my 60 GB HDD which has only 800 mb left ;(
