I have a 80GB hard drive with 2 partitions C: W98 , and D: XP Pro this is a dual boot system. I want to clone each of these partitions to a larger hard drive, then use the lager hard drive as the boot drive. How do I get the larger hard drive to show up as C: and D: so I can boot from it?
 
just use ghost, you will wind up with 2 partitions just like you had but bigger.
simple answer buy a Seagate drive (maybe others) it comes with software (bootable CD) to clone your old drive to you new drive, has work plenty of times for me i the past.

if you have some imaging software like true image, norton ghost, etc. you can clone your drive using it, most of them can clone the whole drives. If you don't have such software then you can use special cloning software, which is usually delivered with the HDs, if no such download migrate easy, it can easily clone the old drive to a new one, and it has a full working 15 day trial version.
