Data Transfer to New Hard Drive

I will be installing a new hard drive soon. I'm migrating all the data from my old hard drive to the new one and want to hear any important pointers or thoughts on the best way to move my user data. Should I just manually copy all my old user files to my new drive? I will be installing the OS and Program Files on one partition and moving the user data to another partition. Thanks in advance.
 
It sounds like you are going to be doing a fresh install of your OS and programs? If so, remove your old drive while installing Windows on the new drive. Hook up your old drive after the Windows install is done and you can just copy the files from the old drive to the new one. You'll likely have Security Permission issues, but you can Take Ownership of the old disk from the new Windows install and give yourself the needed permissions to copy things like "My documents".
