Hi Tim,
You need to use one of these Imaging software to image your C:\ Drive to the
big D:\ Drive, also you need to be prepared on how to perform an Image.
Read the Help and support file with any imaging product you will buy.

If the above not your cup of tea then take to your local Tech Pro and they
will do it for you.

Hi tim,

Check the drive manufacturer of the new drive's website for instructions on
how to copy the contents of an old boot drive to a new boot drive. If your
new drive did not come with the necessary tools, they will be downloadable.
For example, here are the instructions from a few different manufacturers.....
