Where this falls down is with the bootable partition. I have to
fiddle around a bit to get the system to boot again. My preferred
method was always to use lilo and point it temporarily at the new
disc, other possibilities are to set up a floppy disc or boot from CD/
DVD and fix things that way. My /boot and my / partition are both on /
dev/hda and I am not even sure which is the critical one.
Just point at it with YaST. Can work for bot Lilo and Grub. The during
reboot, select that and later set the default to whatever you desire.

I did it and all went well. Thanks. It was easier than I thought it would
be. I just installed the new 300GB drive.
Mounted it as /new in Yast and formatted it.
Performed a cp -rp /new for the directories in /home
Logged in as root
performed a umount -a
renamed /home to /home.old and /new to /home
performed a mount -a
Logged in as my user and everything worked perfectly.
I will use the old home as a backup for media or something.
