what simple simple program is out there to allow me to copy a windows os on a hd to another one?

I do that weekly on three computers using Acronis TrueImage 8 in the clone mode. It's pretty simple.

Take into consideration that New Hard Drive would need new Microsoft Activation.

Not. If the only thing that changes is the hard drive re-activation would not be required. I do it all the time.

or if you use the educational version of XP which does not require activation.

Another vote for ghost.
