Migrating Windows install to new hard drive

[GeeYouEye]

I've got a 500 GB drive, currently partitioned for Windows 7 and Mac OS X.

I've bought a new 750 GB drive. I figure I can use Restore from Time Machine Backup for my OS X partition, but that won't work for Windows.

What's the best way to migrate the Windows partition?

Hmm... any way that doesn't require an intermediate disk image?

You could just move the files you need in Windows to OS X partition and reinstall Windows and then move the files back. Or use Winclone

When I went from 320 GB to 500 GB, I just did the Windows partition first using the extra space on the new HDD for the image.

Partition the drive GPT make space for OS X (HFS+) and Windows (FAT32).
Create the Winclone image from old drive to new blank HFS+ partition.
Restore image from new HFS+ partition over new FAT32 partition.
Delete Window image from new HFS+ partition
Use CCC/SuperDuper to clone your old Mac OS drive to the new one. (Or use Time Machine if you really want to.)
