Yes you can certainly do it.
Proceed as follows...
1.Open the /etc/exports file in the m/c from where you want to copy your
data(i.e the m/c with small disk)
Add the following lines to it:
/ (rw)
Save the file and give the command "exportfs".
2.then from the remote m/c mount that m/c(with small disk) with the
following command:
mount <name of m/c with smalldisk>:/ /mnt/nfsmount
Now the old hdd is mounted on /mnt/nfsmount on the new m/c
3.Copy the files using cp command and then umount the nfs.
NOTE:
In case of porblem during mounting specify the -t option along with the
mount command: -t nfs
