Exact clone of the system drive?

[richphotos]

Its been a bit since I was here, But I got a free computer from my work, and I reinstalled windows on it, and its working perfect.
But it has a western digital Green hard drive, which just does not have the speed that I want. Since I have it setup and installed. I would like to just make an exact clone of the hard drive to a faster drive (western digital black)
What would be the best program to do this with, that I wont run into any problems?
Operating system is windows 7 home premium 64 bit.
If there is no way, I guess I could just reinstall on the new drive, as this is a spare, but time is everything.

Thank you.

Another option is Macrium Reflect which can not only clone a drive but make system images.

If you want speed, pay a little more and get an SSD. You will be amazed at how it speeds up your PC. The programs open in one second. Can't beat that. Newegg has deals all of the time. They had a 120 GB last week for $89 on a one day sale. Keep your eyes open for the sales.
