There is no way to do it without destroying the data.  
Drive 1 = data
Drive 2 = new drive


Make drive 2 an lvm single drive.  Move the data that you want to save to the
LVM setup.  Blow away the partition on Drive 1 that held the data and then add
it to the LVM.  Grow the Volume and you have acheived your objective.  I have
done this and had no problems.
