Carbon Copy Cloner and an external enclosure for the new drive. Do a clone over to that drive and then switch'em and you should be good to go.

Kmax is quite right, that is exactly how it is done.

The forums have been acting up for me as well lately. Took care of it for ya.

Sometimes it seems to take 20-30 seconds from the time I hit reply till it actually posts.
