Yes, Time Machine can be used after replacing your current hard drive with a new one. You'll install OS X on the new drive, and then it'll prompt you to restore your drive from Time Machine if you have one setup.

You can make a complete time machine backup and use that from migration assistant.

Time Machine

ok. sorry it took me a while to get back on the case. i just re-executed all the steps above.

time machine accepted the user/password that i typed in initially no error and then said backup would begin in 120 seconds. then after 120 seconds, it said "preparing..." briefly. then i got the initial error: "Time Machine Error. The network backup volume could not be mounted because there was a problem with the network username or password. ..."
