there are disk imaging programs like acronis true disk that enable you to do
this,
however you will have to fix the bootloader,
by probably booting with the vista disk and repairing it

acronis true image is the correct name

Re: Move Vista to another harddisk

Depending if you want to move Vista physically to the other disk then a disk
partition software might help.

If you just want to swap the drive letters in windows > just change the
jumpers on the back of the 2 drives(swapping them around) > and swap the
IDE/SATA cables on them. (obviously doing all this with the comp off,
unplugged, and not having a static charge on your person). XP must be off
the other drive though.

A hap-hazard way would be to change them in windows registry.
