Rajinder,

    How difficult is is it really to just re-install everything.  You get a fresh install of the latest version of Linux.  You work out an optimal partitioning system. 

    If you spread your critical OS across two hard drives, failure of either drive will shut you down.  Use the second hard drive as an archive, or a backup device.
