How Can I tell if my MBR is Okay after Cloning?

I cloned my entire HD to a larger HD using Drive Image 7.02 and left the "Copy MBR" option
unchecked (default) on the Drive Image 7 wizard by mistake. The drive had a booting primary
as C and a logical as D, both formatted as NTFS.

However, after shutting down and removing the old drive and setting the new drive as master,
Windows XP booted fine the first time and all the drive letters are correct.

Does that mean I'm okay as far as the MBR goes and the bullet was dodged? ..... I'm
concerned because I left the option on my software to "Copy MBR" unchecked like an idiot.
Thanks.
