[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1307881, member: 46727"] For free? How about Time Machine? Backup your old hard drive less any of the stuff on there you don't want. Or, if you buy a new hard drive that can hold more data, just backup everything. Install the new hard drive, format it with Disk Utility from your original OS X DVD. During the process of installing OS X to your new drive you'll be asked if you want to restore from a Time Machine backup or use the Migration Assistant. Select TM and make sure the external drive is attached. Time Machine will restore everything to your new drive, applications, settings, music, photos, and so forth. You should be good to go. [/QUOTE]
