Transfer windows 7 from one disk to another

[PsyphinX]

I have windows 7 on a small 60gb hard drive and I just bought a new 1tb drive and want to just move everything over.

I have both the hard drives installed. Is there any way to just put the windows 7 disk in and transfer it over?

Any help would be nice, I don't wanna lose my info.

Thanks.

You might want to make an image of the old HD & move to the new HD

I was reading the tutorial and it sounds like I actually need 3 hard drives to do it. Is that accurate?

I have some knowledge of computers but I don't know everything.

Cloning you need two, backup would be three.

Ok, so I can make a backup image a put it on my new hard drive and go from there?

Alright. I used acronis to do everything. it was easy to do it, just a few buttons to press and that's it.

Thanks for all your help.
