[ltp] Using Linux to copy Windows to a new drive

I have a dual boot system on my Thinkpad T43,
with Windows XP on /dev/sda1 .
I'm just acquired a 250GB WD disk,
and I am wondering if there is any Linux tool I can use
to copy my Windows XP over to the new drive
(which I can mount in the ultrabay)?

I once used dd to copy a Windows distribution,
and it didn't work properly.
Is there anything better for this nowadays?

Nb I don't use Windows much, but would like to keep it if possible.
