As I mentioned earlier, this is a larger drive to replace the original, so you can be sure the sector numbers are different.
Until your next sentence below, that was not a foregone conclusion. You night have elected to keep Windows' C: the same size as before. You still AFAICR have never told us which device you mount to /boot.
The first partition, containing XP is now the size of the original drive. The 2nd partition is also much larger.
So, what I have is a system copied from the old drive, with some partitions resized and now I have to get grub functioning again. While I realize it's a simple matter to reinstall Linux (I've protected all my data), I'd hoped to be able to simply move from a small drive to a larger one. The sticking point is getting grub going again.
BTW, I went from a 40 GB drive to 250 GB. I have not made any changes to the original drive.
Grub needs to be installed on the new HD.
