The procedure, as I have seen it related here, is as follows:
Set any jumper on the new drive to make it a slave, then install
it as the primary slave
>From a DOS box running in Win95 enter the xcopy command with the
following syntax
    xcopy c:\ <new drive letter>:\  /r /i /c /h /k /e /y

This should copy everything.  We're assuming that you've fdisked,
created an active partition, and formatted the new drive.
