You can also use an imaging software like Norton Ghost, Drive Image, True
Image to copy/clone the entire c: drive partition to the new HD. Set the new
drive as the slave and create your partitions and just use the first
partition as the destination for the copy/clone..Then reset the new HD as
master and remove the old drive or set it up as a slave and format it's first
partition to remove the original XP.

I have a full retail version of XP Pro, and the CD is the SP1a version.
I've had this on an 80GB drive for a couple of years, but now is the
time to upgrade my hard drive.

I'm going to be re-installing XP Pro onto my new 200GB drive, and I'll
obviously be using my existing product code. My friend has an XP Pro
SP2 CD, but will my product code work with this? It would make things a
lot easier if I can install from that disc, instead of having to update
my version from SP1a.
