Move XP to a new bootable HDD partition.?

Hi, i have an old windows xp sp2 installation on a hardware setup as follows:

40gb HDD (master, single partition, windows boot drive)

80gb HDD (slave, has 2 partitions, Primary partition (30gb is unmounted and unused, while the secondary partition is file storage)

they are connected on one ATA100 cable.

I want to get rid of the 40gb hdd, so i can boot only on the 80gb with the OS installed on the Primary partition (30 gb)

how can i do this without clean installing, as i need to keep all files and programs from the 40gb.

(i have used partition magic, clone disc, backup disc, copy partition tools with no success. the OS will not boot properly, something did not copied properly)

you would have absoloutly no problems in completing this and the very best program to use would be Acronis True Image Deluxe, i think that you can download a functioning trial, if not its well worth purchasing, i use it for full pc backup plus transfers exactly as yours and it works faultlessly.
