Default New HDD + Old HDD containing games

Hello guys, need some help.. let me explain, I have 2 hard drives:
160 GB (OS, system & program files)
500 GB (All games installed here, back-up files, movies, music, etc.)

Anyway, I will be getting a 640GB WD Black caviar to replace my 160 GB HDD..

my question is.. If i get the new 640GB (install OS again, drivers, etc.) will my games still run? I'm thinking since my games are installed in the 500GB, it won't be affected by the new harddrive.. or will it? I'm lazy to reinstall all those games (10+ games installed) hehe! Hoping for some advice!

The only way to guarantee that your games with work is to clone the 160GB Drive to your new drive but you will miss out on a fresh install of the OS.
