Help with Upgrading Hard Drive

Thread needs solution

I hope this is the right forum and that someone at Acronis will help me figure this out.

I've read a few things that make me nervous about upgrading my current hard drive in my laptop with a bigger one because of the following:

I have a Dell Vostro 1500 laptop (Dell has a 2nd recovery partition on my current HDD) with a HDD of 100GB (5GB of it is for the D:/ drive a.k.a. recovery partition). The HDD is full and I want to put in a 350GB SATA 2.5" drive.

I also have Vista OS and have read abt hiccups with that OS.

Will somebody please walk me through the steps I need in order to copy and image of my HDD compelte with OS and all files and put it on the new hard drive - and how do the two partitions play into that?
