The easiest cloning method would be to use 1 adapter as Rick Miley suggested and just run the Ghost imaging to make a .gho file of the old drive, and then plug in the new drive and copy the image back. It might be a good idea to keep a .gho image of your machine in the event that something goes wrong when booting the new drive. I presume you're not using NT 4.0 in this case since it's a notebook and so therefore you shouldn't have a problem if you're running Windows 2000 or XP.
