  If your operating system is not NTFS, you can use the free XXCOPY
program with the /clone switch. It works perfectly and costs nothing.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

Use Partition Magic (if you don't have it, borrow a copy or something).

whatever manufacturer of the drive should have a tool to do this.
western digital I know for certain does. boots to a floppy, copies files
from your old drive to the new set as a slave, then you switch the
drives and you are done.

assuming of course you still have a floppy drive.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

Ghost will do what you need. The disks don't have to be the same size
