Theres 2 ways to do it. When you back up your current drive before you install the new one you can either delete stuff off of your drive to cut down the time of putting it all back on the new one (use the backup utility function under system in the xmb) or you can just back everything up and everything will be put back on the new drive (use a fat32 formatted drive for backup). I would go the latter route and back everything up. It results in a longer wait when you restore everything, but if you have a lot of downloaded content it will be much faster then redownloading everything.
If you do decide to redownload everything when youre in the PS store at the top by your cart there is a little link that says downloads. It will have a list of stuff by date and you can just click on the dates to see what it was you downloaded. From there you can redownload stuff.
I put a 320 gb drive in my ps3 a few months ago and everything went flawlessly.
I used this thread and it contains all the information you should need.
