Need Technical help transfering data between two HDs

Here is what I need to do. I have two harddrives.
Harddrive A has my OS(Windows XP Home), programs and other important stuff on it.
Harddrive A is partitioned into a Small portion and a Large portion.
Harddrive A is the main HD the system boots to.
Harddrive B has a few things on it, but not a lot.

I want to take the smaller portion of harddrive A (this is the OS) and transfer it to Harddrive B.
I want to be able to take harddrive B and make it the main drive the system boots to. (I know how to physically swap the harddrives so that isnt the issue)

So the main issue is swapping all the data from harddrive A onto harddrive B so that B can become the bootable drive. I would like to do this without reinstalling the OS. I want to do it without having to purchase hardware or software.

Can anyone help?
 
Get a copy of Norton Ghost 2003 or later, first in windows copy anything from drive B that you want to the larger part. on drive A, then use Ghost from dos to clone drive A to drive B so you have 2 drives w/ the same stuff on them, after this is complete you can reformat A however you want, but make sure that you wipe out the OS part. on A before trying to boot from B so you don't have any issues. Hope this helps... 🙂
