How do I copy my C drive to a logical partition on a new drive and have the OS boot from this?

I installed a new 200 GB drive. My old drive (C drive) on which the OS is installed is low on disk space and I’ve tried everything I can to remove unnecessary files and programs (including changing where Documents and Settings are stored). I’d like to avoid reinstalling XP. Is it possible to copy the C drive onto a partition on the new drive and then have the machine boot from this instead?

How can I clear unnecessary files from my C drive and registry?

My computer has a lot of useless files in its C drive, and I want to get rid of them to clear out space. The problem is that I don’t know how to identify the unnecessary files, and I don’t want to delete something important that a program might need to run. Will a registry cleaner help? Does anyone have any suggestions to help me make extra space on my computer?
