How do I tell itunes to use a different folder on a different hard drive?

Here is the question in more detail.
Itunes sets a default for saving all of my itunes content.
I want to move this to a bigger drive in my machine.
How do i tell itunes to use this different spot as the default for saving and pulling all of these files?

PC, Windows 7

Do NOT move the _iTunes media folder_ yourself or you will lose everything.

iTunes prefs -> Advanced.
Tick *Copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library*.
Tick *Keep iTunes music folder organized*.
Set the *iTunes Media folder* to the location you want it to go to.
Then File -> Libary > Organize library > Consolidate.
This will copy everything in iTunes to the new location and use that for everything from now on.
