I have a pc which initially had a single drive with F23 installed on
it, running perfectly. Now I just added a second drive and I installed
again F23 on it, with the intent of using the first drive for data
only. So now I have two perfectly good F23s installed on separate
drives and I can boot either one of them. I want to
1) remove the bootloader from the first disk
2) reformat the system partitions on the first disk
3) keep and expand the data partitions from the first disk
Have you considered unplugging the drives, and re-plugging them in the
opposite order? Of course that may entail fiddling with grub so drive 2
is drive 1, so to speak.
An alternative is to leave the bootloader as it is, use it to boot the
second drive with the OS, and simply use the rest of that drive for your
data, etc. Proportionally speaking, the boot partition ought to small
enough to not worry too much over.
