Transferring entire Windows from on HD to another

[BobbyDRZA]

I just bought a new 120GB WD HD to replace a WD 40GB drive that is starting to make noise which is a sign of it going bad. I want to tranfer everything from the 40 to the new 120 so that way I won't have to reinstall everything fresh on the new drive. How would I do this? Would I use the CD that comes with the HD to transfer everything and how would performance be if this is done? Would the performance be the same or would it drop?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

well you could transfer the HD data with norton ghost

Don't have Norton Ghost and have no time to buy it so what how can I use the Windows tools and stuff I have to do it?

um, you can try copy and paste the whole c:\ drive
