Preserving Folder Structure When Exporting

Hello,

I recently bought a fancy new hard drive and I would love to export my photos onto there. I have lovingly organised my photos within Aperture using its folders, projects etc, however, the same can not be said for the masters on the harddrive which are organised appalingly.

Is it possible to export all the photos while conserving the Aperture file structure, which could be viewed in Finder?

On a sideline, would it be possible to then use the hard drive to use as a aperture library, retaining edits and versions within Aperture?

Thanks for any help,
