Hi folks.

I have a 320GB hard disk partitioned 50/50 reiserfs/ntfs.

GRUB has been installed so that I can boot Xubuntu 9.04/Windows XP.

I'm experiencing hardware difficulties on this disk. I'm not sure what is wrong with the current disk, but it's taking a long time to be read in both OS's, and it seems to have been the cause of a windows crash.

I'd like to know if it's possible to replace the troubled disk with another, partitioned the same (but 400GB), transferring both operating systems in the process and installing GRUB without either OS's knowing any different?

Any help please? :)

Never mind, HDD failed. Starting from scratch.
