don't use pc relocator... havn't had good experiences with it... norton ghost I love... there are plenty of programs for this.... seach oh the forums for programs to backup hard drives. I can't remember the other 2 that are pretty popular, but i'm sure you can find them.

also since is probablly a 1 time deal... you might want to get one w/ a trial and just use that, instead of purchasing one.

Norton Ghost or Acronis True Image will do it.

Link to: Acronis True Image 8.0

However you would need to reactivate Windows XP, or if you are beyond your Lic. you would have to buy more Lic.
