Please-TI H 2011- Simple instructions for transferring to a new hard drive

Thread needs solution

My apologies. I inadvertantly posted this question twice. My apologies. Tried to delete the second post, but couldn't.

I'm rather new to using TI H 2011. I've owned TI H since 2010, but never needed to do a restore. Now I would like to put in a new hard drive, as I'm afraid my current one is nearing the end of it's life cycle.

I have a Dell Studio XPS 8000 Desktop system running Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit SP1. 8g Ram.

My questions are;
1) When I open computer management and look at the drive I want to replace, I see for disk 0 a 55mb partition (Called "OEM Partition"), an 8.73 GB NTFS Recovery (Called "System, Active, Primary Partition"), then an OS (c:) NTFS partition (Called "Boot, Page File, Crash Dump, Primary partition").

How do I configure the new hard drive to match this?

Is there a way to have TI H 2011 do this automatically? The new hard drive will be a different size than the old one (2tb rather than 1tb and I'd like C: to be 500mb).

Should I format the new drive in Windows 7 administrative tools?

Also, can I download the documentation for TI H 2011? All I see on their downloads page is docs for 2012.

As you can tell, I'm not really tech-savvy. I can install a hard drive and extra memory and a video card , but not a whole lot more.

I'd appreciate any help on this.
