Question about partitions

I have 2 640GB hard drives. On one of them I have 3 partitions, 1 OS and 2 data, one of which is the partition in question. The other hard drive is completely empty and unformatted.

So one of the data partitions (which I use for games and music) is getting a little bit full. Seeing as the other drive is completely unused, I want to move my stuff over there. I want as little hassle as possible from this process. So I thought of a plan:

1) Create a partition on the empty drive.

2) Rename the partition I want to move to, say, Q (it is currently called D)

3) Rename the new partition to D

4) Transfer all the data from the new Q to the new D

Will this work? Since there are games there I want to make sure everything keeps on working after the move, will changing the name of the new partition to the old partition's name be enough?

EDIT: Stupid smilies...

It works. I just did it.

Copied everything over with TeraCopy.
Made sure everything was present.
Deleted partition
Changed new partition letter to D.

Voila. Everything works perfectly, except now my partition is about 2.5 times bigger.
