Default Bigger HD?

I've been using PT since 2002 and love it. I'm currently using 7.4 and everything is running great! However, I am out of room on my system drive to add more software, plugs, VI, etc. Can I transfer everything to a new, Bigger system HD to replace the current HD? Including OS and PT as is. In other words, i want to have everything running the way it is now in the same system with a new and bigger HD. Thanks for the help!

P4 CPU 3.06 Ghz
2 GB Ram
Windows XP - Home Edition
Service Pack 2
PT 7.4
Digi 002/Command 8
40 GB HD C: (the one I want to replace)
80 GB Hard Drive - E: audio drive
Glyph 250 GB HD - 2nd audio drive
Samsung CDRW/DVD
Sony DVD RW

I would reinstall. Though an Image restore using Ghost might work.

If you have installed complete VIs on system drive, you can make room by moving sample libs only to new drive and only keep programs on your system drive.

I use Acronis True Image to do exactly that.

+1 for True Image.
No need to start from scratch if your current OS install is running smoothly.

So use True Image to copy EVERYTHING as is? Put in new HD and copy from old? Not sure how this works. Any suggestions on new system drive? Thanks again for the help guys!
