  I would connect the new drive to some Windows Home Server-joined PC, do the restore using C:\Program Files\Windows Home Server\ClientRestoreWizard.exe on that PC, and then replace the drive. If you opt not to do that, you should make sure that you have a 32 bit driver for your (wired only) network adapter handy.

  Can I restore a Win7 64bit image with the current Restore CD?  Would like to change from a 160g wd hd to a 750 g wd hd.

  
  I just did that on my laptop running Windows 7 RTM x64 and it worked fine. As Ken says, all that is necessary is that the Restore CD contain the 32-bit drivers for the target PC hardware, or that you provide any missing drivers.
