Seems to be a piece of cake:
How to Upgrade Your MacBook's Hard Drive | Macinstruct
and
YouTube - Macworld - MacBook Battery Bay (2)

However, complicating this is the fact that i have a bootcamp partition which I want to take over to the new drive as well. Is there an easy way to make that happen ya think?

Here is a link from Mac OS X Hints that might help:
macosxhints.com - 10.4: Backup, restore, resize, and convert Boot Camp partitions

-Keith

Update: After I read the comments section for the link above I am not very confident in the information. However, I left the post there in case you want to check it out on your own.

Update 2: If your bootcamp partition is NTFS, it looks like this would be a good choice: Winclone

yep Winclone and SuperDuper were REALLY easy, god I missed having full blown unix below the hood =)

This thread helped, also made the winclone suggestion:
Can I backup and then restore bootcamp partitions onto a new drive? - Shirt Pocket Discussions

Next time I will remember to empty the trash before superduping tho =)
