The easiest way to do this would be to install the old drive into an external enclosure and then clone the old to the new using something like CCC or SuperDuper!. In this way, you don't even need a disc and you won't even after to bother with reinstalling your software or backing up data.

It might seem simple, but we see an incredible amount of people post here about spills. Keep drinks and other liquids away from your expensive electronics!
