There is lots of software to clone your drive but Windows XP will not boot up with a new hard drive even if it has Windows on it. You have to do a fresh install for Windows XP. It was made like that so you couldn't load Windows and register it and then make copies of your HDD for other computers. You get the blue screen when you try to boot it with a new hard drive. Tried it a hundred times. Don't know of anyone that has done it.
