New machine, move W2KP to it...

Hi,

I am upgrading a PC for a friend. His old machine is well.. old, 6?
years or so. He has his Windows 2000 Pro disks (but they'll be SP1 I
spose). That said the PC is fully up to date (SP4 plus the 40 or so
others on top of that).

1. I'm going to image the drive.
2. I thought I would go into Device Manager and delete, well, everything
I can. Then I intend to image the drive again (this will be the restore
image I'll use on the new PC).

The new machine will have a 250Gb SATA HDD (I'm concerned this might be
a problem).

Anyway, I intend to either:
* install W2KP on the new PC, get the imaging s/w on, and then restore
the image, OR
* the above but boot via the image CD utility.

And hope that drive detection will work and the system will boot up and
detect all the new stuff.

Am I going about this the right way??? - have others done this???
