This should not be a problem as long as you don't
move your current HD to another position.
Just make sure you have the jumpers set correctly.
You might also need to change jumpers on your old
HD, if it is alone on a ribbon, since some HDs have
a single drive setting as well as a master setting.
After the hardware stuff is done, and your bios has
accepted the existence of the new HD, the rest is
easy.
Just make a new directory, make the proper fstab entry,
mount your new HD to it, copy the stuff you want to
move to it and make symlinks from their old position,
and you're done.
Good luck.
