Moving transaction log files to another drive

Originally the database on this server was set up so that the data and the transaction log files were on the same drive, now I want to move the transaction log files to another drive on the same server. Can anyone tell me if this can be done and how? Thanks in advance!

the log file), verify all ok, delete the original log file. And, of course, a database backup first.
