Reinstalling XP

I am sure this has been asked many times over, but I was wondering how to reinstall XP without copying everything you don't want to lose onto CDs. I have two slave drives (80GB and 30GB). My OS drive is also 80GB. I was thinking that I wanted to put the OS on the 80GB slave drive since it is brand new. I was told you can "ghost" the things you want to keep onto the new drive. Is there a way to put a fresh version of XP onto the new drive without having to reinstall all of my programs and still keep the same settings for each program?

Nope.

You could do an over the top install of XP, but it isn't as nice as a fresh install...

Install XP - all updates - all other programs - then clone the whole thing...Next time, you just pop in the new drive and you're ready to do.
