Hello, I just got a new 750gb hd. My old hd is 170gb or so. I would like to
do 2 things. First and foremost, I would like to move my home dir to the new
drive.

The new drive is now partitioned with a 8gb swap and then a 3ext section. I
would also like to make a small partition for doing things like installing
8.10 for testing out the new kde 4, so some sort of duel boot but only with
linux. I don't use windows at all save for a bit of wine.

I used gparted to get this far and I see how I could mount it but how do you
copy and move the home partition??

Also I welcome any advice about how to set this up so my computer runs
faster by having the right partitions on the right drives!

BTW it is all sata II

Thanks for any help!
