Swapping HD in XP

I'm having a real hard time with this. I have a 6 Gig drive on my XP machine. I am replacing with a 60 Gig drive. Traditionally with 9x OS's I used XCOPY32 to transger all my data. Any suggestions? What is the best way of upgrading your primary drive if you're using Windows XP?
 
Unless you already have Norton Ghost 2002, or PowerQuest's DriveImage 5, the best way I know is to get a copy of PowerQuest's DriveCopy 4/0 and create the two bootable floppies with it. Then you connect both drives, boot with DC4, and simply copy drive 1 to drive 2. It does it completely. If you are going to use them both later, go into ADVANCED on the menu and uncheck hide the source when finished. I use it every week to clone identical drives so I always have a 100% system and software backup that I can switch to with only a key switch. (5.25" mobile racks.)

It will take about 12 minutes to clone your 6 GB drive to the 60.
