I do not think it is that easy. You can move nearly everything, but it will be slow an you are not going to get rid of the old disk. One question, ¿ How big/critical is your database ? because all your problems can be solved with a dump/initdb/restore easily, and if you can leave it doing overnight it is th easier way. Also, I've moved directories across disks before, and it has worked, but I use linux which is much simpler, and just did an stop / cp / change pgdata / restart, I suppose windows must have comparable ways.
