Assuming C is the older drive, and your winxp is sp1 or later.
(If winxp cd is pre sp1 it will only be able to format to 137gb)
Disconect old C, connect new drive, boot from wincd and
partition/format/install
Update.
Connect origonal drive as slave, Install whatever to wherever, recover data,
if thats what you want to new drive

I have windows xp home w/sp2 updates installed on my c-drive. I amreplacing
an older drive with a 400 gig. I want to install windows on my new drivewindows
along with my programs. Any help? Will I be able to use my existing
on my new drive? Will I have to remove my windows from my current C-drive?
As an aside you may like to consider preparing a slipstreamed CD with
SP2 included for future use in case you need to do a repair install on
your machine that has SP2 installed.
