I don't know what are you trying to do, but what I normally do :

 

1. Buy new, larger capacity HDD,

2. Put it on an enclosure  (or using USB - SATA adapter),

3. Clone old HDD to new HDD using a cloning software,

4. Physically swap old HDD and new HDD,

5. Keep machine running on new HDD for few days or a week, keep old HDD as backup,

6. When happy, reformat old HDD and use it as an external HDD.

 

Regards.
