As a newbie, I'm in danger of doing some real stupid things. My first guess at a solution would involve the following steps:
1. Copy (recursive) each corresponding directory to the appropriate partitions
2. Modify certain config files to point at the new partitions
3. Modify grub settings, especially 'menu.lst' and use grub-install to write the MBR on
the new drive. (I am going to alter the BIOS settings so that the new drive boots first -- the controller card has its own BIOS and supports this feature -- but that means the original install of grub to the old drive's MBR will no longer operate.)
Help, either in the form of recommended steps or references to the appropriate documents, would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
