is it an exact copy if you copy *.* the whole C drive to an external hd? because I want to install a new hd in my laptop without installing Win xp prof coz some keys of my keyboard doesn't work, so I cannot put inn teh serial no.
I also have partitioned my "old" hd w/ a D drive which is ca 8 gb.

You will need a tool as Acronis True image.
Here you can download a 15 days trial version - it should be long enough to copy the whole HD to your new one.
After you did you can check out if your xp as desired starts from the new HD.
Hope that helps
