Swapping hard drives

[DavidoFoo]

I have an 80 gig maxtor in my computer right now and I want to swap it with a 160 gig wd. I want to transfer all the data on the Maxtor onto the WD. What's the easiest way to do this? I can't use 2 hard drives because this is a shuttle and only has one 3.5" drive bay.

Some drive manufacturers have software to transfer the data over to a new drive. I'd check out Maxtor and WD's website.

If that's not a possibility, then Ghost or TrueImage can do this easily, as well set up partitions on the new drive.

Can you guys help me find the Maxtor or WD software? I can't seem to find it on their websites.
