Can you use dd to copy the drive image fromvro the other, then condigure your boot loader to boot from the new drive?

Here's what I'd like to do. 1) Get a two terabyte drive. 2) Copy all the data from the existing one terabyte drive to the new terabyte drive 3) Unplug the one terabyte drive, plug in the new two terabyte drive 4) Have everything come up flawlessly, i.e. no need to mess with any config files, etc - or at least very minimal messing. Is there a special tool that can do this in linux? Is #4 possible? Other thoughts or suggestions?
