it's quite difficult to understand you (at least for me).

what do you mean "expand /usr".

do you like to resize the partition. so resize and growfs(8)

how do you "format HDD" - todays hard disk are factory formatted and can't 
be reformatted by user.


why do you like to mount it over /usr?

you may simply copy all /usr to new partition, and then unmount it and 
mount new partition to /usr, while reusing old partition for something 
else.

quite difficult to answer your question...
