A bit of lateral thinking from one of my colleagues provided the solution to this. "Why not just create a new ext3 filesystem on the other HDD, copy the current / to it, set GRUB to boot from that, reboot, resize the old /, restore original GRUB settings, reboot," he said (I paraphrase, but you get the idea).
Anyway, job done.
Best, Richard
