a few suggestions from me:
1. Download AutoInstaller Deluxe v3 from the net. Search the forum or the Internet for the torrent file. Once downloaded, burn to a DVD.
2. FTP to the existing xbox and save all the existing data
3. Unlock the existing HDD
4. Install the new HDD
5. Boot with AIv3, format and partition the HDD appropriately. You'll have to be careful that your HDD is bigger than 120GB. It's to do with LB48 thingy so make sure you'll partition your HDD accordingly (read the forum first for LB48 before partition)
6. You can either restore your old data to the new HDD now (by FTP to AIv3 FTP server) or choose to install from scratch.
7. Restore your old data.

That's all of my suggestion for now.
