If you want an exact transfer you'll need to use Apple's Migration Assistant application which you'll find in the Utilities folder.

you will need to get a hard drive enclosure to plug the sata hard drive into it and then through usb and it would show up on your computer.

Maybe an easier way would be to just leave the old drive installed and assign it another number like D. Then use win explorer or your favorite copying program to copy all the info you wish to keep onto the new C drive.

Sorry, I'll retract my post. I'm new on the site and was not aware of the format, or that the question referred to a Mac.
