Force Time Machine Full Backup

Question

I wanted to update my Macbook Pro with a new Hard Disk, after preparing & installing the new HD and then chossing to restore from the Time Machine, i was surpised that the Time Machine showed me only some Backups(Full Backups), and the last full backup was 6 Months old, although i did a TM Backup just before installing the new HD, but apprently it is an incremntal backup, therfore it was not shown in the list.
So my question is how to force a TM Full Backup so that i can just restore it on the new HD. I know i can do it if i deleted all the old Backups, but i want to keep them, is it possible?
