I'm getting a new HD for my MB. I have no real experience on how to go about replacing this. Mechanically i think i can do it, but how do i transfer the OS and everything else?

I always use SuperDuper with an external hd as it makes a bootable image of my HD and then just put in the new HD and boot from your external disk and restore the image back to your new hd.
Or you could just use Time Machine if you have an external hd and then boot from your leopard disk and restore the entire system that way.
What kind of disk you getting?
I just installed a new hd (Western Digital Scorpio Black 320GB 7200rpm) I recommend it, really quick. -
stealthsniper96 What Was I Thinkin'?
I recommend a western digital drive. Do you have leopard? If you do then use time machine to back up your drive andthen when you go through the installer once you have the new drive in it has an option to install off the time machine backup. I have changed my drive a few times so if you need any advice on actually how to do it just ask.

i'm planning on getting a "200GB 2.5" Hitachi Travelstar 7K200 7200RPM 16MB Cache SATA Notebook HD"
good,bad,ugly?
also, i haven't purchased my MB yet. so there wouldn't be any files on it that didn't come with it originally. does that change anything, because i don't have an external HD. -

hitachi is highly recommended, I would however wait and pick up a 7k320 instead, or if it were me I would wait for a 7k500.
-
does anyone know if Time Machine also backs up the windows partition installed with Boot Camp?
-
Though I can't say from experience, because I don't backup anything other then my main drive.
