I'd second that the partition layout doesn't make much sense.
But like they said, you should be able to just move everything over as long
as you have the same drive letter in the end.
Personally, if it was my box, I would just load the new drives, scrap all
the partitions, make a raid 10 out of all 4 drives and rebuild the server.
It's a bit more work, but the overall time to get the server back online
should be about the same and you'd have a more 'standard' configuration,
better fault tolerance and much better IO performance.
