I'm a few days behind on this but it happens that I just finished
doing exactly this. I strongly recommend you get DriveCopy by
Powerquest($19.95 at Compusa).

The CD creates a boot up floppy from your old drive, then you
reboot with the floppy to the Drivecopy wizards interface.
A couple of mouse clicks and the program automatically creates
partitions, formats the new drive and copies your entire HD onto the
new drive. So easy I couldn't believe it. Took about 15 minutes.
