Too bad you can't award yourself a yellow. Here's my solution:
1) buy a drive adaptor or enclosure (an adaptor is a device that you just plug the drive into and is meant more for techies than home users but it would be slightly more convenient for this task) and put the new drive in it.
2) partition and format the drive. You aren't setting up BootCamp so don't create a BootCamp partition.
3) download SuperDuper! or CarbonCopyCloner and clone your computer's drive to the new drive.
4) download WinClone and copy your BootCamp partition to the new drive - this will create a file on the Mac drive which you'll use later.
5) Install the new drive into the computer and boot up.
6) run BootCamp to partition the new drive - you can create a larger partition than you originally had just don't make it smaller.
7) run WinClone to restore your Windows installation.
8) Boot up into Windows - don't panic. The first startup will want to repair the drive - that's okay. It will reboot the computer when the repair is finished. The second time you restart BootCamp all should be well.
You could use TimeMachine to populate the new drive but by spending a bit more money for an enclosure you'll save lots of time and you'll have another external drive. A computer user NEVER has enough hard drive space.
