Install both disks in the machine, mount the old partition at /mnt
and the new partition at /mnt2, and type
umask 000
cd /mnt
tar cf - | (cd /mnt2; tar xf -)
Its a little trickier if you want to copy the root partition, because
you have to avoid copying any mounted partitions, or /proc, or lost+found.
