I'm not 100% sure of this as it was some time ago, when I cloned files from my 80GB drive to a 160GB one I believe it just carried on as if it were the original drive, I don't think I had to rebuild or anything.
I think the problems only happen if you reinstall windows and all the other files. I do know that I had a backup of all my music just in-case things didn't go to plan.
As I'm not 100% sure it may be worth hearing Dale and others views on this.
