Hi All :)
    um... I did something similar to this on the home box a while back
where I added a 2 gig drive to an existing half gig and 340 meg drive ....
I copied the contents of the 340 onto the half gig and added the new drive
as a slave... all Win95 OS and apps reside on the half gig (barely! hehehe)
and then data and projects are put onto the 2 gig drive :)

The problem is, that Win95 cannot just be copied from one drive to another,
with all of its applications, without a registry update for the hardware.
DriveCopy has never worked for anyone that I know of - and the only
solution
is to do one - Install the OS again, then reinstall every application which
utilizes the registry (all 32-bit apps).
The problem is the registry.  When new hardware is introduced to replace
old, and it's not identical to what it was replaced with, Win95 chokes on
it.  Win98 will alleviate a good deal of this, but not all.
My suggestion would be to either install the new drive as a second drive
(Drive D:) and use it for applications - and use the smaller drive as the
boot drive and temp space.
Best,
Joe
