We just installed a new hard drive over Xmas and we were going to image or ghost the old drive across to the new one... did some research into it and found out pretty much what Analog-X64 just said, -- things can go wrong and anyway if you have a problem with your old drive... like a virus you didn't know you had, that will get transferred too...
Well - I say "we", but Ian is the one who looked into it for me, and frankly from what he found out, laborious it might be reinstalling but it's safer, and cleaner, and more likely to leave you with a working machine afterwards.
