Are you not doing backups of your drive such as using Norton ghost where you can restore from a backup and save the work of reinstalling everything? Norton ghost also has disk to disk copy so you would be able to copy everything from the one drive to the larger drive just as it is.

After installing SP I hit Windows Update... 74 'Critical' updates, don't remember how big the download was but it took a LONg time to complete... Sad part is I'll probably be doing it again soon, after I get a new mega-GB drive to replace the one I just lost. Oy!
