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 ;(

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

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.
