What brand is the new bigger HDD? Are they both SATA? Most drive makers will have free downloads of a drive clone software to make this easy, otherwise there are free alternatives like the one Murf linked to. Stop thinking of them as C and F drives though. Drive 1 has your existing o/s. Drive 2 is blank. You clone the o/s partition to the new drive, expanding it to fill the space. You then shut down and either unplug the old drive or change the drive boot order in your BIOS/SETUP when the system starts back up. Once confirmed that the system boots from the bigger drive, you can then format the smaller drive and re-use that space for file storage to prevent the new drive from filling up as fast.
