Hi,

I have to run some privious applications in Windows 7, for that i am using XP mode.

Is there any chance to include xp mode and other applications (MS office) to Windows 7 OS CD?

I doubt it, 7 is an OS, XP mode is merely an application, like other software.

clone your drive using:

You can test slipstreaming either or both into Win7 installer using Vlite to see how it then installs.

A better method is using pacinitaly's approach to clone over your current install, or save it as a Backup Image which makes' reinstalls unnecessary: Backup Complete Computer - Create an Image Backup

To change hardware, run SysPrep on the HD to remove all drivers, activation, etc then either move the HD, clone or reimage to another: Windows 7 Installation - Transfer to a New Computer
