Replacing a Harddrive?

Is there a way to install a new harddrive and copy all the info to it from
the old drive so that the new one will boot and work identically as the old
one?. Without having to reinstall all the applications? Basically I
guess I need a exact image on the new drive so that when I turn on the
computer it operates as normal but now with a bigger and faster hardrive.

Any tips appreciated.

If it's got tits, tires, tubes, or transistors, it's trouble.
