You just need to set up the grub first stage loader on the new disk. You
do this from the grub shell, with something like "setup(hd0)", where hd0
is the first disk seen by grub. It's probably easiest to move all the
data, then remove the old disk. With just the new disk in, boot a
Knoppix CD or similar, and run the grub shell from there.

HTH,

Mike.
