Gary-

You might want to have a look at Norton Ghost 6.0. It is a very nice
utility that will allow you to do precisely what you want to. You can set
the new drive up as a slave, create the appropriate partitions, and then
"ghost" the old partitions to the new drive. Remove the old drive (or set
it as slave) and set the new drive to master, and you should boot to your
system just the way it looked before except with the new, larger HDD in place.

You can download the Ghost manual from <www.symantec.com> if you want to
read more about it. Navigate to support for Ghost.

HTH-
