I have always copied the whole ~/.gnupg folder from the old system/disk to the 
new system/disk when I migrated to a new PC or a new hard drive. Actually, I 
always copied my whole home directory. Only when setting up a secondary 
computer I copied selected folders including the ~/.gnupg folder and the 
password store.

I suggest to do the same, i.e., instead of exporting and importing secret 
keys, simply copy the .gnupg folder from the old disk to the new disk. Make a 
backup of the already existing .gnupg folder on the new disk before proceeding 
just in case.

Ingo
