Add prior drive back in, but boot from the new one. Copy over config files from the old drive, or just mount its home directory as your new /home. It gives you a clean install, a safe install (no data can be lost if there's none there), and a quick restart using the system option. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.9.10-100.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Sun Jul 14 01:31:27 UTC 2013 x86_64 Boilerplate: All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I only get to see the messages posted to the mailing list.
