I installed Windows 7 on my raptor 74gig but I would like to move it to my larger 640gig drive. What is the easiest solution for this?

That is a job for cloneware. The best I've found is Acronis TrueImage 12 (2009.) There are others - Clonezilla is a feebie. Many HDDs come with cloneware.

And, MS has no objection to upgrading one's system HDD.
