   Was going to reply with pretty much the same answer as DC. One option you   
   could consider is a drive caddy that turns the bare HDD into an external   
   drive with USB connector then you can use something like 'dd' to mirror the   
   internal drive to external.   
      
   Once the copy is done you can swap the drives around, and use your old   
   internal as portable storage.
