I do just that. Having done the cloning, where olddrive was
master on the channel, and newdrive was slave, I simply
interchanged the slavemaster drive jumpers and powered on.

No changes in activation etc. needed. I make sure the primary
(bootable) partitions in both drives are the same size, so that I
won't run out of space.

Using W98. Can't say for other versions.
