Hard Drive Upgrade

I have done a search, but have not turned up what I am looking for.

I simply am planning a hard drive upgrade in my MBP, and do not want to go thru all the boot camp partition and xp load again. Is there a way to clone the partition easily, so that when I repartition my new drive (keeping the same size XP partition) that I can restore the clone? Something like carbon copy cloner for XP

You need to copy the hard drive, completely. Some apps will do this for you. I have used Carbon copy cloner with no issues - SuperDuper should work as well.

edit: oops, you want an XP verson.. CCC and SuperDuper don't copy the XP partition? I would try that first. Some windows-based clones here.
