Why reinstall? Just copy one partition to the other drive and
reconfigure grub. I prefer Ranish Partition Manager (www.ranish.com,
freeware) for the job but you could also do it with Linux. 
I assume you would have to create a partition of exactly the same size
and then do a "dd if=/dev/hda1 of=/dev/hdb1" in order to copy your the
first drive to your second hard disk. But I really recomend you use
Ranish for the job!
