Hard Drive Replacement



Hi experts:
I have 2 physical internal hard drives:
c: 30GB single partition - operating system
d: 80GB single partition - data

Have ordered a Seagate 320GB.

My plan:
1) copy everything from d: to my usb external & delete all folders/files
2) copy everything from c: to d:
3) shutdown & install the 80GB drive as master (c:) and the
new 320GB drive as slave (d:)

Is this doable or will I have to do a clean/reinstall windows etc
on the 80GB.

If this plan won't work, I will likely just leave the c: drive as is and
replace the d: (80GB) with the new 320GB drive.

Thanks all--


.
