I would copy the entire 200GB drive to the 400GB drive using dd then  RMA
the 200GB drive because it is bad. Something like the following is what I
suggest:

dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdb bs=8M conv=noerror

Then you can use fdisk to get rest of the 400GB drive space. Then remove the
200GB drive and boot.
