Upgrading Hard Drive

[M]

On WinXP home I have a 250Gbyte SATA drive and I would like to move to a
500Gbyte SATA2 drive without reinstalling everything. Is there a way to do
this?

Matt, usually you can find free software at the manufacturers website to
do this.

The new hard drive probably comes with software to clone hard drives.
If not, check the manufacturer's web site for downloads.
