First off, please never ever send HTML message to mailing list like this. See

To add and configure partition on new harddrive, check the manual here:
https://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-8.0-Manual/custom-guide/ch-disk-storage.html

After that, you need to copy data from your old /home partition to the new 
partition. Then edit /etc/fstab so that /home be mounted to the new 
partition. 
eg, if the new partition for /home is /dev/hdc1, edit the /etc/fstab to have 
line like this:
/dev/hdc1		/home		...
