You'll have to create a partition on the new drive, and format it as well. If you intend to use it as the OS boot disk, you'll have to set it as an active partition. Some new drives come with software to clone one drive to another.
Or you can use Norton Ghost, Acronis True Image, or similar type drive cloning apps.
