Cloning w/ Super Duper - does VMWare Windows just clone too?

Just want to make sure I'm 'doing this right...

Upgrading my 320gb to a WD 750gb. Going to clone using Super Duper.

So a few questions:

How do I format the new drive?

And I recall I needed to format a partition on my old drive for use with Windows and WMware. How does this work when I'm making a clone of the drive?

Thanks

Assuming that you're using an Intel Mac, format the new drive Mac OS Extended, using GUID for the partition map.

You don't need a separate partition for VMWare Fusion - that's only required for BootCamp. SuperDuper will clone your VMWare Fusion/Windows install (assuming that it's ON the partition you're cloning) just fine. It's in the user->Documents->Virtual Machines folder in case you're wondering where it's hiding. And of course, SD will clone your VMWare Fusion app as well.
