I can't address your question about disks, but it seems that all you need to
do is exactly what was done before, then change your /etc/apt/sources.list
to point to woody, and then
apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade
Certainly best to do this before the big DL (i.e. right after the initial
installation).
I don't recall if kernel images are updated (I always roll my own anyway).

ps. Certainly if you are looking to upgrade _that_ box, then just the
sources.list file change and re-apt'ing things are all that's needed..??
