John,
Assuming you can only have 4 HD's in at once:
1) usb connect the 2TB and partition off 250 GB
2) copy the 80GB to the 250GB partition
3) remove the 80GB drive and install the 2TB drive
4+ ... Proceed as you might have.
I'd be daunted by the prospect copying 1 TB over usb. Is that a naive
reaction?
I'm always wary as well. It will also take longer over USB.
Also, off your original method ... Rsync instead of copy? I'd expect
something to hiccup while doing this much copying. It always hiccups for
me :)
Yes, rsync is your friend, I never use cp any more :)

There is no silver bullet. Plus, werewolves make better neighbors
than zombies, and they tend to keep the vampire population down.
