Set up your new drive as a slave (see jumpers on back of HD), and then download 'Data Lifeguard Tools' from WD website which has a feature for Disk to Disk copying of OS, Programs and data from one HD to another.
You will need to mark the new HD as 'Active' to make it bootable
using Disk Management console.
