I doubt Clonezilla cares about the presence (or absence) of a
bootloader, but I could be wrong. I've always used tar to migrate
from one hard drive to another:
1. Boot from the installer disc (rescue mode, again!).
2. Create a file system on the new partition.
3. Mount both the old and new file systems.
4. Copy the contents of the old file system to the new file system
with tar::
cd /path/to/new/filesystem
tar -cC /path/to/old/filesystem . | tar x
