Most hard drive manufacturers have software that will copy the old drive
directly to the new drive. If it didn't come with your hard drive you
should be able to download it from the manufacturer's site. You'll have to
connect the new drive up either as slave on the same IDE cable as the old
one, or perhaps unplug your D drive temporarily and hook it there. Just
make sure you have your jumper settings right for whatever option you
choose. When you're all done, you should be able to make your new drive
your master drive and it should boot up as before.
There's other software for doing this too... I'm sure someone will chime
in.
