Oh my god, I'm surprised it's still running at all. (after listening to the video)

Here's an article on about cloning Vista: http://www.multibooters.co.uk/cloning.html

And if you back up to XP with this new drive, then copying from your old hard drive to your new is going to be a problem, because many software applications that work on Vista do not work on XP even with the SP3. At this point, you would only copy your music, pictures, videos and documents....you would have to reload all applications with XP software.
