Default Jsut bought a new Hard Drive. How do I copy both XP partition and Recovery Partition onto the new HD?

Hi my original HD is barracuda SATA 160 8 mb cache with two
partitions, one for xp and one for recovery(system restore) I just add
another drive barracuda 320gb 16mb cache as a single partition storage
drive. however, it seems the 16mb cache will be faster than the 8mb
cache, i want to switch them and use the 320 gb as the main drive with
two partitions( one for XP and one for receovery) and make the
original 160gb hd as storage.. how do I go about doing that? TIA
