Well I have not done similar thing myself, but I also have linux installed
in a 540 MB partition. I plan to add another HDD in near future. After
reading the documentation I have planned the migration as follows:
Path - I
- --------
1. Install linux on second HDD
2. Copy the files I have changed to from old installation.

Path - II
- --------
1. Format the new HDD with linux
2. mount it under a new directory

Guru's any advice on this?
