    You can make a disk-to-disk image of the old hard drive to the new hard drive via Norton Ghost. But you'll have to find a way to plug both hard drives in. You can try with external enclosure or if you have a desktop you can hook it up with a 2.5inch to 3.5inch IDE Cable Adapter.
    Good luck! :)
