I didn't see a response to your question on the list so I thought I could
give you a quick answer.  Yes, it can be done, but it is not as simple as
putting it in and moving the files. There is a guide that Western Digital
has on line to guide you through all the steps  and also a down-loadable
program (E-Z Drive) that helps with installing a new drive.  I would
recommend that you read through it and then decide if you want to do it
yourself.

Go to:  http://www.westerndigital.com/products/manuals/EIDEtoc.htm

for the instructions.
