David, those ifixit guides are really helpful and worth bookmarking.  
But I think that Henry is asking how does he transfer his data from  
his 60 gb HD [to be discarded] to the new 100 gb HD [to be installed  
in the PB].

The easiest way I believe would be to just clone the current 60 gb HD  
onto the 250 gb FW HD using SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner or some  
other similar app, boot from the FW HD just to make sure all is OK,  
then swap the 60 gb HD with the new 100 gb HD [with the help of the  
guide mentioned by David], boot again from the FW HD, format the new  
100 gb HD, then clone the entire system back from the ext FW HD to  
the new 100 gb. That has the added advantage of defragmenting the  
system on the new 100 gb HD.
