There are quite a few ways to do this. A general outline of the prodecure is here: http://encodable.com/tech/blog/2006/10/30/Ubuntu_Linux_Hard_Drive_Upgrade

You will need a USB enclosure for your new laptop drive.

If you include a copy of your /etc/fstab file I can create a more detailed outline of the procedure you will need to use.

Can you help with this problem?
