Mike <[hidden email]> I bought a 750Gb HD and installed it in a hard drive enclosure that i also bought from Ifixit . I downloaded and printed there instructions for installation of the new HD in the MacBook Pro. I installed the new HD in the external housing . I do not remember how I cloned the HD. I then removed the new HD from the external enclosure and installed it in the Mac following the printed instructions from Ifixit. It worked with no problems. I then added an additional partitioned for WinXP . Now I have a dual boot Mac .

A good choice for cloning the drive is SuperDuper.
For a straight clone it's free. If you want to do incremental backups later you can pay the minimal donation. I use it to make a clone once a month that I rotate to my safety deposit box in addition to the Time Machine backup I keep going locally.
