I second rab777hp's recommendation to use SuperDuper, it's an excellent and easy way to clone your drive. the software is free (paid version gets you some additional features like time-scheduled backups)

also, if you don't already have a spare external hard drive enclosure to temporarily mount your new 100GB drive, get yourself one of these inexpensive USB universal drive adapters

Use Disk Utility -> Restore the original onto the spare drive. It's drag and drop simple.

Good Luck,
