What you need is cloning software. I think Norton Ghost is the best
known in this area but you do have to pay for it. for some
alternatives take a look here:

An alternative is to use software available from certain HD
manufacturers. I bought a Maxtor SATA drive and used their Maxblaster
software to clone my old HD to the new Maxtor. I think the software
came with the hard drive but you can also download it from their
website. One of the HDs involved MUST be a Maxtor for it to work
though. But I think most HD makers make something like this but they
don't advertise the fact for some reason.
Before you use any cloning software it is vital that;
a) You backup your data
b)defrag your existing hard drive
c)backup your data
