I have a bunch of hard drives and I want to get rid of some of the smaller ones. However, the problem is the boot information is on one of the smaller HDs. What do I need to copy for it to boot properly without the smaller HD? I have XP32bit/Vista64bit installed.

Boot record?

dd in Linux (Ubuntu Live CD, etc) -OR-
Imaging program (Acronis True Image, Norton Ghost, etc)
You can use your Vista install to extend the partition at the end of the disk without too much trouble if you dd. The imaging program can resize partitions to fit the larger drive as they perform the copy operation.
