RE: Disk management - Swapping hard disks
Yes this is possible to do, but you will need a lot of free space and a lot of free time. If you have a 3rd disk, this will be much easier. You will need to make an image of BOTH disks before starting the swap, then restore them to the appropriate disks. If you don't have a 3rd disk, do the swap in this order:

Image Disk0, and put it in the free space of Disk1
Clone Disk 1 onto Disk 0
Restore image to Disk 1

However, looking at the size of Disk0, you probably won't have enough free space in which to do this

As for the Primary, no it is not messed up. A primary partition is just a 'basic' partition type. The others labeled Logical are just created differently in their creation
