Perhaps you can just add studio to the first drive? You can do this from
Synaptic:
System|Administration|Synaptic|Edit|Mark Packages by Task|
1) 2D/3D creation and editing suite
2) Audio creation and editing suite
3) Ubuntu Studio Desktop
4) Video creation and editing suite
(check the boxs and click OK)
and then 'Apply'. That should pull in and install all of the packages
that you'd find on the Ubuntu Studio DVD. Warning, you are probably in
for a lot of download time, so schedule accordingly.

Notes:
1. I've not tried these packages myself so you might google a bit first.
2. You can leave off #3 if you don't care about having the Studio Desktop.
3. Heads up: there is a bug filed against #4:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tasksel/+bug/219653
[ "Video creation and editing suite" install fails with "aptitude failed
(100)"]
So I don't know if you will encounter the same problem.

Also see:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio
  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/Installation
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/UpgradingFromHardy
which suggests (from a terminal):

sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install ubuntustudio-desktop
ubuntustudio-audio ubuntustudio-audio-plugins ubuntustudio-graphics
ubuntustudio-video linux-rt

Note: above is all one line.
And given bug 219653 (which involves taskel - used by Synapic) the
terminal method may be the way to go. Same download sheduling applies.

That way you can use sdb1 as if it's a fresh Studio install and still
access the files on sdb2 from sdb1. Once comfortable with that, pull the
necessary files you need off of sdb2 and reformate sdb2 as an ext3 data
drive for storage of your video files and/or as a backup.
