why not just copy your existing windows partition to the new HD?
PartitionMagic is the best tool for this. Makes it real easy. If you have it, or access to it, post back, and I'll post details.
If you're going to reinstall anyway, then what I would do is, disconnect the old drive, install windows on the new drive, and make sure it is the priority device in BIOS. Once you're reinstalled, when you hook the old drive back up, your machine should have no problem seeing your new install, and the old install as just data instead of bootable.
If you want to install the new video card and not do the whole reinstall windows thing, uninstall your previous video card drivers, shut down, install the new card, boot back up, load the new drivers.
hope at least some of this makes sense for ya hhahha.
