I just purchased a new, second hard drive for my system
running Win XP. Currently, XP runs from my C: drive and I
would like to move to my new drive. If I copy the entire
contents of my C: drive to my new D: drive via Ghost or
other software, would I then be able to swap the boot
drive letters using the instructions in

You should be able to copy the drive then reboot without the old drive
connected and it will set the new drive as C:. Once done you can then
rehook up the old drive and it will be set up as D: or what ever is next.
