I need to increase the size of my System Hard Drive. How do I move the
existing System and files to a larger hard drive so that I don't have to
reinstall the OS and Program?
 
You run out and buy a commercial product like Drive Image.

I did the same with disk mirroring. I installed my new drive, set up a
mirror, downed the server, removed the old drive and extended the partition
to the rest of the drive. I believe I had to create a dynamic partition to
accomplish this.
 
I should have pointed out that most new drives now come with software to
image from your old drive to the new one. It'll say on the box.
