OK no brainer is to go to a laptop supplies specialist store, on-line or 
"real" tell them what you have and either let them do the copy for you 
or supply the appropriate cloning software diskette with the new drive. 
I guess one problem is how you are going to have both drives installed 
in the system at the same time to be able to clone the old drive, so it 
may be simpler to have the store (real) do it for you. The actual 
cloning action, given the correct software is a no-brainer.
