Swapping Drive

[Stephen]

I have a failing hard drive that is a single partition that just 
contains my home directory.

When the drive started to act up I used:

usermod -d /path/to/new/homedir/ username

to switch my user data to a good drive.

Now do I need to do anything more than:

1) Power down computer
2) Remove bad drive
3) Install good drive
4) Use GParted to format and install
5) Mount as home direcotry
6) Use usermod again

Or will booting without a /home directory cause problems?

Thanks
Stephen
