Norton Ghost will let you do this. Costs $70, buy it at your local store or here [symantec.com].

I use Norton Ghost regularly as i dont like the Windows System Restore and find it is a lot more reliable. But I cant say i have ever tried to Ghost an image to a larger drive! Nowhere in the Ghost help does it say you cant do it tho! At worst, the way I see it, it would copy the 80g to the 200g as an 80g partition (maybe) then I presume you can just allocate the free space (the remainding 120g) or create other Partitions then merge them together.
What will work for you is making a backup (or ghost image) of your 80g drive and copy it directly to dvd's. This will take a few hours tho and a few dvd's, expecially if you only have the one drive as Ghost can not save the image to the drive you are ghosting. I have 2 harddrives, when I ghost one drive I copy to the other. Then I copy the created ghost images to dvd's. When I want to restore the ghost image of my C: I just copy the Image from the dvd's back to my d: then ghost it to my C:. I sounds like a lot of work but it really isnt and you get a nice clean fresh install again of windows. And doing it this way the whole process takes approx 20 minutes! Do you have a spare smaller drive? That way you can backup your 80gig then say using a 10gig have a go a ghosting the 10gig to the 80gig. If it works then you know you are safe to do the 80 to the 200.  But I also think it will work.

well i dont have a smaller drive.. but, if i do it using dvd-rs then the only problem is with installing.. i have had a few problems with software running if i just make a data dvd-r! is there any software that will backup all my files and just tell me to instert x# of dvd-rs and then i can run that on the new hdd and reinstall everything perfectly?
thanks

If I got a new HDD I would take the oppurtunity to reinstall Windows and get myself a fresh installation. Like an early spring clean
 . It doesnt take all that long to reinstall games and programs, and having your 80gb plugged in you can copy saved games, or important documents accross in no time.

Maxtor MaxBlast 3 duplicates your hdd easily for free. get the windows version of MaxBlast 3 from here:
http://www.maxtor.com/portal/site/Ma...&downloadID=58 Run it and go to drive-to-drive copy and select source & Destination partition, hit start. there's also a dos version of this utility but it takes ages to duplicate hdd under dos mode.
