Moving O/S onto a separate hard disk

I think I know the answer is 'no' already but it's worth asking.
Does any one know if it is possible to install a new hard drive into an existing setup and re-install the primary O/S onto it, effectively shifting the C: drive physically from one drive to the other?
Edit: Without it all going wrong.... :shock:

Not sure you can do it like that, but you should be able to use something like Norton Ghost or Acronis Backup to burn your C: partition to a DVD(s) image, then swap hard drives and install from the image onto the new drive.
Never done it myself.
