How about booting from a rescue disk with its own filesystem, mounting
the old drive under /old, the new one under /new and then issuing as
root:
% cd /old
% tar cvf /new/backup.tar *
% cd /new
% tar xvf backup.tar
IIRC that should preserve file ownerships, file permissions, and
symlinks ... but than again, I've never done it myself.
