Shfiting of SQL default database

On our SQL Server we have 3 different HDD. HDD 1 is having OS. HDD 2 is having all the SQL by default databases i.e. Master, Model, Msdb, Tempdb, Pubs & Northwind.
HDD 3 is having application databases, which are in use. Because of HDD 2 problem we shift our application db to HDD 3. The capacity of HDD 3 is more and it#%92s new. My question is how should be my approach to shift all SQL default databases from HDD 2 to HDD 3?
Is there any risk involved in it?
How should I handle those risks?
