  1. Physically swap out the hard drives
  2. Place the original drive in an external caddy
  3. Boot the MacBook from the USB device (hold down Alt while booting to choose the boot device)
  4. Run SuperDuper! to clone the USB drive to the internal one
  5. Reboot.
Simple.  I now have 320GB to play with, rather than the originally supplied 80GB.  
Next step – Bootcamp.
