What I would do is create a partition on the new drive, and move the files from /home onto that, I would also suggest gzipping the / partition onto that as well, as a backup. I would then modify /etc/fstab to designate the new drive as /home and, booting into a Live CD, I'd destroy the old /home partition (hda2, I'd guess) and stretch the / partition out to the full 30 GB of the old drive. Assuming there isn't some big speed difference between the drives that would make it worth running / off the faster of the two, I'd keep / on the old drive and use the huge drive for my /home. I'm a pack rat who dislikes deleting stuff so my /home would definitely be growing faster than my /. HTH, Simón
