I plan to replace my XPhome hard drive to gain added space. If I just
install the new drive and do a copy from old drive to new... should all be
fine?
 
pretty much yes but you will need to see if your new hard drive comes with a
program to do this as you need to boot to a floppy disk then use a program
designed to do this you cannot just boot a DOS disk and do it!

many new drives come with program that works with their drives. Check
Maxtor's or WD web site for details

This link is for Maxtor they have a flash presentation that show all the
steps to copy a partition from one drive to another!
