Transfer to New Computer

I know this has been discussed before but can not seem to find the info.

I have just purchased a new hard drive and would like to transfer my
entire Ubuntu 7.1 setup and data, etc to the new drive.
What presteps do I need to do to the new drive to prepare it, then how
do I copy the files.

Then unlike windows if I plug it in will it work as the same old drive.

Thanks
