Recovery Cd new hard drive

[Foges]

hello, i know this is a bit off topic, but i was wondering if anyone knew if it was possible to use a recovery cd on a new hard drive, if there was any program to do that or something. right now i have a 40 gb hard drive and have just bought a 120gb new one and i wanted to sell my old one, which contains xp and instal xp on the new one

Does anyone know??
