Right now I have OS X Tiger on my primary 30 GB slave drive because I had some issues with installed hard drives. now I installed a 120 GB hard drive as my primary master and it will see it, now I want to copy my installed OS X with all my programs to the 120 GB drive but how do I do that ?

Copying worked great but it's unstable, a lot of freezes on the 120 GB.

Think i'll just install a new copy on that hard drive

It has to be cloned and not copied. SuperDuper and Carbon Copy Cloner are the ticket.

I did the cloning using carbon copy. Now I just reinstalled OS X and during installation it let me copy all my files and application from the other installatio so everything works fine now.
