1) Ghost or image the drive and then replace the old drive

2) replace the hard drive with the new one as master. Install XP and then
add the old HD as a slave and copy your data over.

Most new drives include mirroring software for this purpose. They are easy
to use and work very well. JJ

And if the new drive did not come with a software CD then you should
be able to download the imaging program from the drive manufactuer's
website.

Good luck
