Default Replace HDD

OK, I know, I should have installed bigger HDs when I built my
desktop. I have physical HD "C" with Win98 FAT32 and physical HD "D"
with WinXP NTFS as a dual boot setup. I want to replace "D" with a new
larger drive. And I don't want to re-install WinXP or lose data, etc.
I read something, somewhere about a method to clone HDs but I don't
remember the details.

And I have one of those external USB cases that will take a CD or HD
that I got for my laptop. Would this work as a way to connect the new
HD to my desktop while I do the clone procedure?

Any insight will be appreciated.

Thanks, jimbo
