You could "ghost" it from one drive to the other. It is a DOS utility but works well with Linux file systems - don't know if there is a similar Linux utility though.
I can lend you a floppy with Ghost on it if you need it - contact off list if so.

I have just purchased a 20gig drive for my laptop and need some info on how to transfer my Linux partition onto the new drive. My current setup is a 8 gig drive with 4 gig winxp partition 4 gig debian 3.0 unstable (of course with necessary swap and so on) My question is 'is it possible to keep my setup' and just transfer it all to the new harddrive. It took me bloody ages to get the debian working correctly as I need all sorts of weird and wonderful kernel patches and fix it's to get my very strange network card going and the screen at the correct resolution. To top it off Im also running out of space on the 4gig partition and would like to when I copy the current setup to my new harddrive but into a larger (10-15gig) partition for future expansion. The setup is a: Dell Inspiron 3800 Mobile pIII 700 With 128mb ram Belkin Cardbus PCMCIA nic Maybe Im dreaming and will need to reinstall, but the last time I did that I almost had to pawn my kidneys to get help getting it going, and I only have so many kidneys you know!
