Put the new drive in the case, and partition it as "Apple Partition Map" (search the forums for the method to use for partitioning). Use "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" as the format.

Then, "Backup - all files" from the original drive to the new one.

Rename the new drive to the SAME name as the original drive and then power down. Swap the drives and you should be all set.
