I am thinking about buying a new hard drive for my windows xp installation. It is going to be larger and a 7200 rpm sata instead of the old 5400 rpm ide.

Is there any good software to clone the drive and make it bootable. I have seen many options but I want one that should work.

You can use Clonezilla, it can do an entire disk. See the link in my sig.

You should do a fresh install, because of the drive differences. You can copy your home directory to save all your settings.
