Yup, did that once. Connect both HDD-s, get in Ubuntu and start copying. 
There is one problem, though... I am not sure whether the partition 
table has to be identical as name (if you have on your current HDD a 
partition sda2 with Win, then I don't know whether the partition name on 
the new HDD should be the same). I really don't know more about this 
since I copied from sda2 to an external HDD, completely formated and 
then put it back in sda2.


Hope that helps,
