The only way?  Why not just move or copy the files (then edit 
your /etc/fstab) to make it the way you want it?  This could be tricky 
if you're new, but post some details and the list can tell you how to 
do it.

Basically, you just need to understand the way *nix sees the filesystem 
as one tree with devices mounted on it.  Once everything is mounted, it 
doesn't matter which device the stuff is on.

In particular, your current /etc/fstab would be good to see.
