Download SuperDuper (search at MacUpdate.com), use it to clone the 
current master over to the big slave. Set the slave to be the startup 
drive. Shut down. Make the big disk the master and remove the 
original. Start up. Be happy.

At your convenience, get a good, inexpensive external drive enclosure 
and put the original into it. Use it as emergency backup or whatever. 
Even before that, get another big disk and either put it into an 
external enclosure to use for backup or put it in as slave and use as 
a less safe backup...
