Sure glad I did not reinstall Ubuntu.  Whew!!

Unless you really-really-really screw things up, you usually do not have to. Linux is not Windows ;-) Even if you had to, with /home on its own partition a reinstall would not have been an issue, you just have to choose the "Something Else" on partitioning and only format the "/" and set the "/home" partition mount point and NOT FORMAT it.

A tip: If you use gparted or e2label and give partitions labels. Makes moving partitions and data easier...

sda1 "12.04-root"
sda5 "old-home"

sdb1 "14.04-root"
sdb5 "new-home"

So from a live session when I mount both drives it is easy to keep things straight when I copy my profiles from old drive on sda to new drive with newer version of Ubuntu on sdb...
