xxcopy ( freeware ) from ,

Start > Programs > MS-DOS Prompt .
Copy the command in item 1 below & click paste in MS-DOS & click Enter , you
get a copy of everything . No need to close any programs down .
2nd command excludes Windows .
3rd command copies Windows only .
4th command excludes Windows\Temporary Internet Files

Adjust drive letters to suit .

1 . XXCOPY C:\ D:\ /CLONE

2 . XXCOPY C:\ D:\ /CLONE /Xwindows\

3 . xxcopy C:\Windows D:\Windows

4 . xxcopy C:\ D:\ /Clone /x\windows\temp*\

If you don't want to confirm all the overwrites ( you get 3 choices Y,N,A, Y ( yes )
overwrites that file , N ( No ) , A ( All ) overwrites everthing ) use the /yy switch after Clone .
Eg. XXCOPY /CLONE /YY C:\ X:\

Below applies if you want to make the new hard drive your main drive ( usually C )
http://members.tripod.com/~diligent/harddisk.htm
Use the startup disk to boot the computer and when you are at the A:\
prompt type sys c: and press Enter. The required boot information will
be copied to the new disk and you have a working copy of the old hard
disk .
If the partition is not active , use fdisk , option 2 .

You can use Ghost to copy from partition/HD to patrtition/HD. U can also make an image of the Existing Windows !
