Hi,
That's how I copied NT4.0 over to a new hard drive.
Be sure you have Emergency Repair disk from NT made.
Export Registry to Desktop in NT before copying over, after you login
the first time Import registry and restart computer, even though secured Registry
keys will not be imported but the other keys does that's enough to restore settings.

 First I made the NT hard drive a slave to a Win95 hard drive and I installed the new hard drive as a slave too.

1)Click view\options in the NT hard drive and select Show All files and click OK.

2)copy and paste D to E , considering D the drive that has NT and E the new hard drive,
once finished.
3)Click start\run and type 
xcopy d:\ e:\ /c /e /f /h /r /s
and click OK, once finished.
4) Shut down computer, change jumpers and install the new hard drive in computer and start
computer, if you get  any error messages insert NT Setup disk 1 in drive and restart
computer, follow instructions and let it detect all hardware and at the end  it will ask you if you want to repair or install NT, Select R for repair,
from the next menu select to repair NT system files and Users profiles only, 
in two minutes it will be all done.
Restart computer, import registry if necessary.

I had to reinstall few hardware such as Sound card, Zip drive because NT setup
didn't recognize them in the repair, I also had to reinstall RAS.

The above is much better than reinstalling.
Note: before you copy the hard drive, clean your hard drive from unwanted files,
and clear all temporary files, Cache files, Internet Temporary Files, and if you
can afford to clean Internet History folder.
click start\run\find files and folders and type Cache to locate all Cache folders
then empty their contents.
