windows xp doesn't like to be copied into another drive ... the only recourse you have to your problem --- from my experience --- is to reinstall it on the bigger drive unless somebody else can give you a better solution ... i had to do it myself just to replace a failing drive on my pc even with using the tools that came with the new drive that was supposed to be able to move all the data in the old drive to the new drive ... good luck!
