How do I install XP to a second drive?

[Adam]

I want to know how to install XP on my new drive, then
eventually delete the old XP from my old drive. Ok, let
me explain: I've installed to the new drive, but I only
want the new one to be my OS (instead of selecting the
two XP versions from the boot screen). I DON'T want a
dual-boot system. So the question is, how do I make my
new installation the ONLY primary OS without doing any
major damage? (how do I "transfer" system files to the
new drive?) I hope this makes sense. HELP!

I have just got a new 100gig drive and wanted to copy my

old 40gig XP OS to it so a friend of mine suggested I get
a copy of Copy Commander and it would work. So I went and
got a copy at the local software store and tried it, with
no problems it coppied my XP to the new one and all I had
left to do was format the old 40gig. To make the software
work good you just make first your new drive a slave then
from the bios just select boot from CD and put commander
in and it will do the rest. When finished just switch the
new drive to master and the old to slave and take the boot
from CD selection off in the bios and boot into Windows
and format your old drive.
