First get updated to Service Pack 2, then install all the security updates.
Then make sure all your protection against all forms of malware are
up-to-date and enabled.
THEN sweat the small stuff.
However, why did you not just transfer the complete contents of the old
drive to the new drive using the software provided with the new drive, or
for pay transfer software, or for free transfer software?
