[X Newbies] Hard drive space

[Mark Des Cotes]

I have a slot loading 400 MHz iMac that I'd like to put a larger HD 
into (currently 8 GB) I have no problem opening up the unit and 
swapping the drives. But how can I get transfer the info on my old 
drive to the new one. I don't have access to a firewire or usb drive to 
do a temporary transfer. Can two drives be connected internally at the 
same time on an iMac?
