One of the requirements listed for G4U is:-
1. Workstations to be cloned should be similar in hardware. Disk sizes,
especially. See the site above for more specific details.
Since the purpose of this task is for the original poster to install a
larger harddrive then this program may not be ideal.
Are you not able to use something like BootItNG or Acronis True Image to
make an image onto a networked drive, and then restore that image onto
the new hardware?
