Thanks to all. I have given up in favor of doing a clean installation.

Could someone please tell me where from one could get a F7
installation dvd with a recent kernel?

Now I have all my F7 partition copied in a partition in the new disk.
Grub is installed in the new disk. However, I always get booted in the
F7 partition in the old disk. Any ideas?

If you want the new partition to be the bootable one, you need to use
e2label to give it whatever the label was of the original partition, and
then remove the label of the original partition.

The other thing you may want to check would be /boot/grub/device.map.
Make sure the grub devices match the linux devices, and make sure
that /etc/grub.conf is pointing to the right device.

At this point you might just wait until November and get the F8 DVD. If you want F7 then get the respin of F7 from the nearest Red Hat mirror.
