Hello all, I'm looking to grab a WD Black 1TB drive. I'm looking for an upgrade in both capacity and performance. Below is my current hdd setup:

400GB - This is my primary hd and has Windows 7 and 50gb set aside for Ubuntu

250GB - Windows XP (just a backup OS)

400GB - Storage (music, video, etc.)

What I want to do is replace my primary 400GB drive with the 1TB drive. My process that I worked out in my head is...

1. Backup my Windows 7 to a spare 250GB hdd that I have

2. Power down, unplug all drives except for the 400GB primary and the new 1TB

3. Clone the 400GB to the 1TB drive, power down

4. Throw the 400GB in my closet

5. Plug the 250GB with XP and 400GB storage drive back in

I'm thinking that when I bring the system back up, it should be like nothing changed except for the size of the primary drive...would I be wrong?
 
btw, WD offers a free version of Acronis True Image available for DL from their site. ;)
