Demand a Media Center CD from the manufacturer of your machine...
It's been awhile so you will have to make some polite noise...but don't quit easy and you'll get what you need...

Best of Luck.

      like copy all the data from your old HD to your new then Yes.

      you would have to do the Slave Technique that Patio described or you could try a USB Enclosure, but the Slave Idea is better.

      You would want to do this BEFORE you install Windows...a clean install wipes out everything.
