I have an i7 15" MBP and I have OSX 10.6.3 and a BootCamp partition with Windows 7 on it.

Just wondering what the most painfree way of upgrading my HDD from the stock to a bigger one without having to reinstall everything is.

Thanks for the help in advance guys!

use Time Machine to create a backup of the OSX side, then when you install the new drive, use the SL disk to boot the machine and choose restore from Time Machine backup. This will restore your Mac partition exactly as it was. As far as Windows, everyone seems to recommend Winclone to create an image of the Win7 partition which can be used to restore Windows into the new BootCamp partition. I've never tried the Winclone part, but I have used the Time Machine method for OSX and it works flawlessly.
