HI, I have the retail version of XP Home. I naively
thought putting XP onto a 2.5GB partition along with a
few applications would be roomy enough. Wrong. So I just
bought a much bigger hard drive. Is there a way to move
everything over to the new hard drive and then make that
my new bootable drive? I ultimately want just one hard
drive in my computer. I'm comfortable temporarily
mounting the new hard drive as a second drive. Thanks!

Imaging is the best way to go, and check your hard drive manufacturer for
updated software to copy the old drive to the new.
Maxblast Plus versions 1.30 and newer provide an image copy utility that
will allow you to copy all the information from one hard drive to another
drive. The software currently supports FAT16, FAT32, and NTFS partitions.
