You'll need a external hard drive adapter or enclosure to hook the new drive up to and format it, then use SuperDuper to clone it>http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/S...

You have to have a way to talk to the new hard drive and at the same time use the current drive. This can be done by using a adapter such as this one: http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Newer%20T...

or an external enclosure to put the new drive in, such as this one: [linked product missing or disabled: IF107-097]

If you use a firewire drive you can also boot from it.
