However. you can install the new disk, use fdisk to create partitons on it and then move the data from some of the existing partitions to the new disk. Then you can mount the new partitons.
This way you could, for instance, create a larger /home or /var or /usr etc. on the new disk to replace the partitons on the old disk. Once this is done, you could delete the old partions and use a tool such as parted or QTparted to resize the partitions on the old disk and make them larger also.
