Xcopy32 will not accomplish what you want. If you are buying a retail
drive it will come with instructions and software that will copy
everything from the old drive to the new, including parts of the disk
that xcopy doesn't copy. In addition, all the major disk makers provide
handholding-type help for setting up your new drive.

It's real easy...you'll do fine.
