Michal, detach the 2nd HDD, vgrename "vg0" to something, reattach the 2nd HDD, run "vgscan;vgchange -ay" and you should be able to access both. Keep necessary /etc/fstab changes in mind doing so. Regular procedure for such VG moves from one computer to another is "vgchange -an VG ; vgexport VG" on the 1st one, move PVs to the 2nd computer and run "vgimport VG PVPath [PVPath...]" there.
