We know what replacing the C drive a with a bigger drive means - loss of all installed software AND Dlls.

just to add to what rundll already posted... yes, it can be done without loss of data. throw the new drive onto the secondary ide channel and partition and format it. then copy everything from c: to the primary partition of the new drive (you can do it with windows explorer). then put the new drive in place of the old c:, boot with a startup diskette and make the primary partition active, reboot, and everything should be fine. ive done it before.
