Cool Laptop HDD replacement

Daughter has a Toshiba Equium P200D-139, the HDD is almost full, so am looking at getting a larger capacity drive.

2 questions (I think)

Win 7 installed, is it really as easy as making a recovery/repair disk and then doing a full back up, popping the new drive in the doing the repair/recovery then restoring the backup?

the current drive is a Toshiba MK8046GSX which it says is ATA-8 specs am I right in reading that that is a SATA drive, and does it matter if it is SATA I or II?

sorry 3 questions, any recommendations, was looking at 160-320gb drives?
