after installing the HDD,do I just move files from /usr on old to new and then remount?

Kenan Bektas, Peter Richards,


It is not how you create a new Linux disk. Moving /usr from to another 
disk may not allow the binaries run properly. There might be some 
binaires require some libraries. So, you need to move them as well.
Not an easy job. You most likely forget some of them.
Bottomline: do a clean installation!
