I just sent a LONG reply assuming your new 1 TB HD WAS your new System disk, but it appears not. If the 1 TB is external, and you've got copies on both the smaller System HD and the new 1 TB external, the solution is "similar" to my long explanation. You can move ALL the iTunes Music folder on the smaller System HD to the trash (don't empty unless you're certain the copy on the external HD is complete), and then open iTunes and go to the Preferences>Advanced tab and use the "Change..." button to change the iTunes Music folder location. The new location should be the exact path to the "iTunes" folder on the new 1 TB HD. Again, if this folder has a file called "iTunes Library" you can trash it. Then drag & drop the entire "iTunes Music" folder which contains copies of all your album and tunes into either the open iTunes window or the iTunes icon and it will reindex everything, but this time it will recognize the new pathway to the new HD and not clog your small System HD with all these tunes.
