Ok, I can't mount it on / because that's already used but I can mount
it on /mnt and copy files at least. Thats a start, more than I've
been able to do so far!
mount /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 /mnt
I'll need to figure how to get grub to boot it ...
If you succeeded in mounting it, look in the old /boot (in other
words, in /mnt/boot) If you don't recognize what you should be looking
for after checking the manual entries, etc., ask again.
Curiously, I haven't been able to see /boot/ ?
I've done this several times, including several times when I was
fighting the old problem where you didn't want LVM handling volumes on
more than one drive in a system. I don't know if that old limitation
still exists, you'll want to check. (I probably want to check, too,
but not today.)
One more thing to worry about ...
The short answer to booting the old system is to remove the new drive.
The long answer includes adding to the new grub configuration, new
entries to either chain or directly boot the old system, but modifying
the drive numbering appropriately. If you chain, I think you'll end up
editing the old grub's configuration as well, because of the drive
numbering problem.
Yes, but plugging the old drive back in is a last resort sort of thing.
I had hoped to make the new drive a third one but sadly I found only two
SATA connectors on the motherboard so I had to revert to plan B.
Wish I had time to write a tutorial on it, but such do exist on the
web. Some will be old and send you in the wrong direction, so look for
something recent.

The help is appreciated. It's what keeps people with Fedora ...
I'm done for today.
