Hi, I've just received a PC with 2 HDs with LVM. I wish to
remove one of the HDs (/dev/sdb or /dev/sda???) from the LVM
You must shrink the / filesystem enough to fit it on one physical
volume, see:

cheers, that useful.
however, for some reason the 'rescue' ISO I've downloaded (sh-3.2)
doesn't have lvm command
therefore i did the lvresize step within Fedora's X
Next, use pvmove to clear all used extents off the physical
volume you want to remove from LVM and then you can use
vgreduce.
maybe I've got something wrong/misunderstood, but I get an error with
pvmove:
