Best way to replace/switch out my C: drive

The C: drive is my boot drive. Has almost all the program files on it.
I have two HD: the C: = 80GB, the G: = 160GB. Both are virutally full.
I want to buy a new 400 GB internal drive and use that to store the stuff that is on the G: drive now. I want to then delete the G: drive and use it to replace the current C: drive.

What is the best way to go about this? I have already googled, but maybe I'm not using the right search terms. Any advice would be helpful.
 
I'd say that the simple answer is be sure and buy a "Retail" packaged new Hdd. Maxtor, Seagate, and WD come with a slick CD that will handle all of what you want to do. The lower priced Hitchi drives do not seem to have anything similar. Not having budgeted my PC spending for whatever drive is most expensive, I don't know about CD's with any 250 GB's- plus or any 10,000 rpm's- plus Hdd's.


 
These utilities can be downloaded from WD/Seagate/Maxtor's site as well and will work (either using a floppy or iso CD) if one of the drives is theirs. Older versions of Ghost bundled with many motherboards will also do the job.
