You need a proper partition manager that will do an exact copy. What I
use is BootIT NG, from http://www.BootitNG.com ($35 shareware - 30 day
full functional trial)
Download, to its own folder, extract from the zip, run the bootitng to
make a boot floppy.
With the new drive plugged in as slave/secondary, boot the floppy,
Cancel Install, entering maintenance, then click on Partition work.
Highlight your C:,Copy, then on left select the new drive (HD1),
highlight the Free Space in it, and Paste.
Now click on 'View MBR' and in it highlight the entry for this new
'about to be C' partition and click the 'Set Active' Click 'Write
Standard MBR' and Apply.
Close out, swap the disks to make the new one the one that boots, and
reboot into XP. The C will now be this copy on the other drive
