    Make a backup of the data on the drive, down the server, replace the drive, and restore the backup.

    It also matters exactly what it is you have on the drive.

    You could try adding the new disk as a third hard disk then using the program Ghost to copy the information. The Ghost program has the advantage of speed and being able to clone a complete disk. It also works when the disks are not the same size.
    You can download a trial version from their internet site http://www.ghostsoft.com
