Hi Leon
It doesn't have to be the same but it will require a re install of everything from windows up. Unless your snazzy with computers and can flash from one HDD to the other.
Probably easier just to install everything from scratch though.
the only thing you might need to watch is the type of connection you have to get to connect to the motherboard. By the looks of it your present HDD is a SATA connection so you shouldn't have a problem as most HDD now days are SATA. Watch out for cheapo HDD that might be "clearance" i know some PC shops are trying to clear out the older (and in your case obsolete) IDE connections.
Just ask/get a HDD with SATA or SATA3 connection and as much "space" as you need. You should be sweet. If you find something you like you can always type the product code (eg. Samsung SP2504C) into google with the word review and see what the market thinks of them.
