You can use some software like Acronis True Image or Drive Image to make an image of your old HDD. Restore it on your new HDD. Check your HDD manufacturers website, they might have some utility for this.

You can clone your harddisk and then copy it to other one.

AFAIK

creating a disk image and deploying it on another drive wil work only if

both the drive spaces are the same

and the partitions are both made active


else it wont work
