Well Debbie you are exactly in the position I am except I haven't received my 200GB drive yet, should be here Monday :-)
I propose to install my 200GB in place of my 20GB drive and transfer everything across to it using Acronis True Image version 9. I have one partition on my 20GB drive and will probably partition the new drive in half. I am not yet sure if Acronis will allow changes to this once set but there is software around for re-partitioning drives later on. As I mentioned in another thread, on the Acronis website there is a 15 day free trial of True Image 9 that I have successfully used to test the procedure and it works very well. I would also add that I have ordered the software on CD for when the trial expires!
