There are various programs around to copy an entire hard disc; Ghost 
is a good example. Best version may be 5.1D (version 6 seems to have 
been inflated with unnecessary features). You used to be able to 
download a demo version, good for one month; I don't know how it is 
now.

With Ghost, connect machine with 2 hard drives (jumpered as master 
and slave), with the one to copy as master. Then follow the prompts.

If you're going to change the motherboard, the last thing you do 
before the change should be to go into Device Manager and delete all 
the System settings. It mght be better to leave PCI BIOS extension 
(or something similar), though I think it works OK even if you delete 
that.

When you start up the new machine it'll find lots of new hardware.

HTH,
