What's the easiest way to copy over my filesystem onto my newer, faster, stronger internal hard drive?

I have a new internal HD for my MacBook Pro. I have an external HD that’s large enough to hold the entire contents of the HD, and a Time Capsule with everything backed up on it.

What’s the simplest way to get the old drive onto the new drive? (Preferably that doesn’t involve me rooting around the bowels of my house looking for my leopard DVD)

Bonus Question: I’m going to make the new drive dual-boot. Boot camp before or after the transfer?

Bonus bonus question: Would my old drive (2.5” SATA) work in a PowerPC macbook?
