you could "image" the drive with something like norton ghost or acronis true image and copy over to the other drive
or you could just put the 500 GB drive in as a slave and then you'd have 750 GB of total storage

i would like to image the drive. Could you please explain what that exactly means and what it entails? what is the easiest way to do it? would i have to add the 500GB hard drive to my other SATA port in order to copy?

imaging is when you make an exact copy of one drive and copy it over to another drive (the only way to copy your OS to a new drive)...basically you'd put the new drive in the machine with the old drive still in there...then you'd run the imaging software and follow their instructions for imaging (or "ghosting") one drive to the other

I would recommend you Migrate Easy from Acronis. There is a small app wich allows to clone your hd to a bigger one. Also you can change the size of partitions.
