Thanks to all. I have followed Jonathan's method, but I did not remove
the old disk. However, I did increase the priority of the new disk as
the first one. However, I get the following:

# /sbin/fdisk -l

Disk /dev/sda: 500.1 GB, 500106780160 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60801 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

Disk /dev/sda doesn't contain a valid partition table

Disk /dev/sdb: 81.9 GB, 81963220480 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9964 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sdb1   *           1        9965    80040960    7  HPFS/NTFS

Disk /dev/sdc: 120.0 GB, 120033041920 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 14593 cylinders

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System

The new disk is /dev/sda. It is rather strange that it says:

"Disk /dev/sda doesn't contain a valid partition table"

Any ideas?
