See the link below on how to migrate such using tools like robocopy and
permcopy and other options. Xcopy /o can aslo copy explicit permissions. You
also might have luck creating a Ghost type image and copying it to the new
hard drive. Sometimes it will boot into the operating system and work if
Plug and Play allows it to work. Even if it does not, it may work if you
then boot from the install cdrom and perform an in place upgrade of the
operating system which would require you to install the service pack first
and then critical updates. --- Steve
