Copying to added hard drive

Is there a way to copy games and other programs over to an added hard
drive from the existing hard drive.

I was wondering if there is a program (preferably freeware) that will
copy everything over, including changing registry settings, so that I
can avoid reloading everything again.

I will soon add another hard drive and want to store my games, some
progs, photos, media files, etc...over to it and keep my other hard
drive for the operating system and other things.

Thanks

I am trying to word my question better:

I am adding another hard drive.
I want to move my games and some other applications over to it and keep
my OS (Win2000)on the original drive.
How?

Thanks

Its better to copy everything except the data. That
includes the OS as well as the games and programs.

That operation is generally called cloning.

xxclone.com is a free one.

I prefer to use True Image myself and the free trial used to clone,
so its worth trying that, its rather easier to use than xxclone.

Its better to have the operation system, games and
programs on one drive and the data files on another drive.
