My hda holds grub, a XP partition and /

my home partition is on a md1 using hde5 and hdf5

what is the best way to replace hda and get the grub MBR, XP and / 
transfered over.  Re-install?

on a possibly related subject, I can not authenticate against root 
user.  I can sudo su.  I can set root passwd, but I can not su to root.  
Could this be related or a seperate issue?
