Default Best way to copy data to a new disk

I have a 36 GB SCSI disk on a PC with XP. I want to remove it and put in a 73 GB
SCSI disk.

Can I copy the data (OS and user files) to the new disk without bothering to
reinstall everything?

I can put both disks in the machine together. I also have a DDS-4 SCSI tape drive.

Does Windoze have any tools for this, or does one need to look at 3rd party
tools? If so, are there any free ones?

On a UNIX system I could do this with two commands, go away and come back an
hour later and it would be done. But I'm not so sure on Windoze.
