   Most disk "Kits" come with cloneing utilities. If you bought a "Bulk" disk,   
   get the cloneing software from the manufacturer's site. After you clone your   
   old disk onto the new disk, move it to the location (on the cables) of the   
   old disk before you reboot from the new disk to keep things straight, After   
   you boot from the new disk, attach the old disk.
