Can anybody point me to a HowTo or directions on adding a HDD to a dual boot
system ?

I have a Win98/FC3 dual boot system on a 40 Gb HDD using Grub as the
bootloader, I want to add another 40 Gb HDD and move FC3 over to the new
drive so that I have a HDD for each OS.

I have a idea about how to move the FC3 file system over to the new HDD ,
but I really need to follow a set of instructions just in case I miss
something and I am unable to boot into any of the OS.

Thanks.

System specs
CPU Intel 1Ghz
Ram 512 Mb
Hdd 40 Gb Seagate
Win98 -> 20 Gb
FC3 ->20Gb -> workstation setup , swap 512 Mb , / 19 Gb

Best to use something like SystemRescueCD to make make the move;
http://www.sysresccd.org/ copy (and resize if desired??) one partition
at time using something like qtparted.

You will have to re-install GRUB after moving/deleteing the partitions.
Use the installation media (booting into rescue mode) type something
like after using the chroot command;

$ /sbin/grub-install --recheck /dev/hda

And please read before starting;

man parted
man partimage
man grub-install
