Laptop HD upgrade?

Hi, I have a Toshiba Satellite 1905-S301 Laptop with a 40GB Hard Drive. I would like a bigger hard drive as I use my laptop as a desktop replacement as I move a lot and it is not feasible to own a desktop.

Now I am not a geek, it was at about the height of my ability to identify, locate and install more RAM so I am obviously a bit scared of how to find if and what I can to to upgrade my HD. I have searched around and seen drives of different specs of which I don't understand, Different RPMs IDE/ATA etc. Is there a search engine like there commonly are for suitable RAM upgrades. Can I upgrade to a faster Drive? Is there a limit on Size?

How hard is it to "clone" the contents from the old drive to the new one? Is it difficult to replace the drive?

Cheers.
