| The best way to do this is to install the new drive, install OS X on that new drive from scratch, and then use the Migration Assistant to move the files over from the old drive to the new drive. I know that it's possible to do it from one Mac to another, but I've never tried it from one drive to another so I can't say that it works beyond theory.
