New harddrive with Win2k, using restore

[cyberey66]

I finally bought a new ide harddrive. But I don't want to reinstall my stuff. Heres what I think should work.

I'm running win2k.
new hdd is 20g. gonna do 15g/5g partitions.

Make a 2nd admin account just to do all this. I'm going to do a full back-up to the 5gig partition from 2k. I'll then put my new 20g as master, bootup then install nt4. Using nt4 cause it takes only 15min to install. Now my 20g has a boot sector, so I'll put it back as slave, boot 2k from old hhd, then do a restore from the image on the 5g part, to the 15g part. Now I can boot 2k from the 20g hdd and not have to reinstall all my stuff. Should this work, or does anyone know an easier way?

sometimes the easy way is just to use the utility software that came with the drive and just copy from old to new, master to slave also may depend on if u are using ntfs and if utility will transfer ntfs

I wasn't aware of that software. That should be my first try then.
