copying a hard drive

I have a server with 3 8.5 GB SCSI drives. C: is a 4GB
partition and is the system partition, the rest of that
drive is D:, which is spanned across the remaining
drives. C: contains active directory and acts as our
print server (clearly not enough room, I know).

I want to move C: to a new 36.5 GB SCSI drive. If I
install the new SCSI drive and copy C: to it, what are my
next steps to get it to boot to it?

I am thinking the following:
1. Install the new drive
2. Copy the files to it
3. Reassign the old C: drive a new letter
4. Reassign the new drive as the C: drive
5. Insert the 2000 Server disk and repair the MBR

Should this do the trick? Will I need to edit the SCSI
BIOS or terminate the SCSI drives differently or put the
new Drive in the 1st position in the SCSI chain?

Thanks in advance.
