Welcome to the forum! You will find this operation rather simple to complete. You will need to read up on cloning applications such as Acronis True Image, Norton Ghost, Clonezilla, etc.

Basically, you will need a means of connecting both hard drives to the computer at the same time, and a means of booting the cloning application, usually from a CD/DVD or USB flash drive. Unless you just want to make a backup image of your current drive, then you might not want to clone, although it's still an option, but you may just want to store the image on a networked drive rather than another physically connected drive.
