Copying to new External HD

I have an old 500 GB Hard Drive with my entire iTunes Library and iPhoto Library on it. I would like to completely copy the content of the drive to my new 2 TB drive. I tried disk restore with Disk Utility, but it says that the old drive "failed to unmount". I tryed many different approaches to fix this, with no avail. Please, if anyone can help, it is greatly appreciated.

Mac mini, Mac OS X (10.7), Mac mini 2010 with OS X Lion

I assume your old 500 GB is external? Is it USB2 or firewire or what? And the 2 TB drive is internal? Did you try dragging the drive icon over to the 2 TB? What else specifically have you tried that did not work?
