The most reliable way of transferring a working system from one drive
to another is as follows:

1) Fit the new drive as a SLAVE and start the PC.

2) When "Starting Windows95" appears hit F8 to get the boot menu and
select "Command Line".  Use FDISK to partition the drive followed by
FORMAT D: /S /U to format it (assuming the new partition comes up as
logical volume D:)

3) Reboot the PC and allow Windows95 to load.  Select "MSDOS Prompt"
from the Start menu and type XCOPY C:\ D:\ /E /K /H /R /C  The entire
contents of the old disk, including files, structure and attributes
will be duplicated onto your new drive.

4) Close down the PC, power off and switch the jumpers on the drives
to set the new one to master and the old to slave.

I used DiskMAGIC 95 for this purpose, and it worked like a charm. 
Highly recommended!
