Hello,
Well you have two options.
1. use fdisk (i like the linux version much better) to remove the linux partions and then reinstall linux. this would take care of the bootloader and free up the current partition space.
2. add then second hard drive, partion and format it for linux and then copy the linux contents of the old drive to the new one and then edit the bootlaoder.
If IU had a bunch of stuff I did not wish to loose on the linux side i would opt for option 2. I reaize there are not many details here - for option 1 not many are needed, for option 2 be careful, i can help with more details later.
