What do you mean by that? You can make a fresh installation onto the new 
disk and then copy off the old one whatever you need. Basically, if you 
do a fresh install of the same version you already have on the old disk 
you can pretty much just copy everything over (because if you'll 
overwrite something, it will be with an exact copy of it).
