Thank you very much all you peaple for your recomandations. I acctually solved my problem by dd. I just create a new partition in the begining of my hard and then copy the old one. I did not need any other partitions data because I would format them all for the new gentoo system. Its amazing how small programs such as dd can solve problems like this.
