Hello, So I have a white shell Fall 2007 (Santa Rosa) Macbook with a 120gb 7200 RPM hard drive. I bought a new 320gb hard drive and snow leopard today and want to ensure that I won't lose anything if I back my hard drive up as a "regular leopard" machine and then try and recall the files after installing the new drive as a "snow leopard" running system.

In short, I need to do these things and make sure they're in as efficient an order as I can get without risking my files:

-Back up my old hard drive (using time machine, right?)
-Install my new hard drive
-Install Snow Leopard
-Restore my files onto Snow Leopard

Advice?
