I just got on the Bart PE site and that looks good.
Congratulations! Now do this:
1. Partition & format the new disk the way you want it.
2. Make sure that the first partition is active.
3. Run regedit and navigate to HKLM\SYSTEM\MountedDevices
4. Delete the value \DosDevices\X: (where X: is the drive letter
for your new disk).
5. Boot the machine with your Bart PE boot CD.
6. Start a Command Prompt.
7. Type this command:
xcopy /s /y /c /o /d /e /h C:\*.* D:\
where C: is the old disk and D: is the new disk.
8. Switch off the machine.
9. ***Important*** Disconnect the old disk.
10. Make the new disk the primary master disk.
11. Reboot.
Your machine should now boot normally into WinXP.
If it does not then you can still use the old disk.
Feel free to connect the old disk as a slave disk after
the first successful boot into WinXP.
If this was my machine then I would seize the opportunity
and make the primary partition 20 GBytes only, with the
rest reserved for data files. Having the OS and all apps on
one drive and the data on a different drive gives you lots of
advantages.
