I'm assuming that's not going to work though because Windows would need to be running at the time?
Luckily there's not a lot on the machine so it's not going to be too difficult to do a fresh install.....
I recently used Acronis Migrate Easy to move the contents of a 40gb disk to a 120gb disk and it work like a charm. So if you have something like this then you don't need to re-install anything. However, if it's a fresh install then you're not going to lose anything apart from time.
