Getting new HDD was not a big issue as they come cheap nowadays. Having to format it as ext4 was not an issue either - GParted is the way to go. Having to move /home to the new partition was a big issue to me, as I am not Linux guru :)
A good friend of mine helped me to solve that problem and now I am going to give you a summary of how it was done on Ubuntu (gotta enable root account; if it's enabled, skip steps 1 through 3).
The way to check if you have root account active is to type "su -" in the Terminal. If the password you enter will be accepted, you have root account active. If not, you don't.

Here are the steps:

1. Run Terminal
2. sudo -i
3. sudo passwd root
4. Log out
5. Ctrl Alt F1
6. login as root
7. nano /etc/fstab
8 . add /dev/ /home ext4(or whatever you formatted it to) errors=remount-ro 0 2 (e.g. /dev/sdg4 /home ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 2)
9. exit nano
10. mv /home /homeold
11. mkdir /home
12. mount /home
13. cp -a /homeold/* /home/
14. reboot
15. login as usual

Enjoy and either delete /homeold or keep it as backup.
