moving vista to new drive on same computer

Hi:
I bought a new harddrive and now want to move everything from the old drive
to the new drive without having to reinstall Vista. New drive will be on same
computer but is bigger and faster. Any help appreciated
Thanks

Clone the old HD to the new HD using the software that either came with the
drive or available from the manufacturers website

Dont be surprised if you need to reactivate Vista - certain types of
hardware change may cause this. Nothing to worry about as what youre doing
is quite legitimate but thought I should mention it.

You may be prompted to phone them for a new activation code.

YMMV
