Env.: Win2000, SQL2000

I need to creat a server exactly like what we have in production. I took these steps:
1. Stopped SQL-Server in production. Of course when it was not in use :)
2. Coppied the E:\MSSQL\DATA folder to new server. This is where I have all DBs including Master, MSDB, Model. (SQL Server is installed on C: drive)
3. Start SQL-Server.

As a next step, should I attach the databases to SQL-Server on new server? And replace the Master, MSDB, and Model databases with existing ones on New server?

Am I on right path? Or there is a better way?

Thanks
