Default Replace Hard Drive and (Re-?)Install Windows XP Pro on OEM Machine

I want to replace my current 40GB Maxtor hard drive running Windows XP
Professional with a new 120GB Seagate drive. Ideally, I would like to ensure
a clean installation of WinXP Pro on the new drive, reinstall the programs,
and transfer the data files from the old drive. Currently, I have an HP
machine originally installed w/ Win2k Pro and upgraded to WinXP Pro using the
OEM-supplied WinXP Pro upgrade CD. Is this possible? Or do I need to "clone"
the old drive? Are there any licensing issues? Comments appreciated - thanks,
