Partition it with diskdrake. Log on as root Mount the new drive somewhere like /mnt/new_disc Copy everything from your current home to the new drive with cp -ax /home /mnt/new_disc Examine the contents of the new drive to confirm it is all there. Unmount your existing /home You are logged in as root so there will be no users using the partition. Unmount /mnt/new_disc and remount it as /home It should look just like the old /home Edit your /etc/fstab so the new partition gets mounted as /home If you have done something wrong, then you should still be able to log in as root to fix it.
