no keep your current drive with the OS installed on Master - puit the new drive in the Slave slot and plug the slave leads in and then just run it as a slave drive under My Computer.

I'd advise against just copying your OS across from another drive......install XP on the new drive, THEN set the 2Gb drive up as a slave-drive and copy all your data across (not including Windows). That way, you don't put the stress of running XP on the old drive, it's just there as a secondary (ie. slave) drive.

yup this is the way forward, you'll have a fresh copy as well
As for programs, reinstall them mate...otherwise back up the setup files from your current harddrive if there abit hot
