XCopy is actually a possibility too. And there are freware tools to "ghost"
a drive.

Your best bet is going to be to hook up the new drive as a slave and use
software like Norton Ghost or DriveCopy to image your old drive to the
new drive. Then hook the new drive up as master and you are right back
where you started, except you are running on the new drive...

No problem, just make sure that you follow these steps in order:

a) with your old HD still in place, make a boot diskette, you'll need it. Then
turn off the PC.

b) disconnect your old HD, and connect the new one in place. Turn on the PC and
make sure the BIOS recognizes it.

c) boot from the floppy (make sure the BIOS will allow you to boot from floppy)
and partition the new HD (using FDISK), don't forget to set the partition active
in the end. Turn off the PC.

d) reconnect your old HD and also connect the new one (as primary slave or
secondary master, whatever suits you, I personally set HDs as primary and
secondary masters, and CD-ROM/CD-RW/DVD-ROM as slaves). Turn on the PC and make
sure the BIOS properly recognizes both.

e) boot Windows from your old HD, then format the new HD (be careful, you don't
want to accidentally format your old HD! your new HD is possibly D: if you
only had a single partition in the old HD, that is, C:)

f) now open the Windows Explorer, go to the C:\ folder, make sure it isn't
hiding any file types, and select everything (files and folders) except the
Windows folder, and copy them to your new HD's root folder (possibly D:\ as
previously mentioned)

g) create a folder named 'Windows' inside the root folder of your new HD
(as I said, possibly it is D:\). Now go into the C:\Windows\ folder and
select everything except the Win386.swp file, and copy them to the Windows
folder within your new HD (possibly, D:\Windows). After it's done, turn off
the PC.

h) disconnect your old HD and connect the new one as primary master. Turn on
the PC, make sure the BIOS properly detects it, and then boot from the floppy.

i) make a "SYS C:" from the floppy to write the boot record of the HD. Then take
the floppy out and restart your PC. If everything went fine, you'll now have a
copy of your original Windows configuration on your new HD. Keep the old one
as an emergency backup.
