If you can connect both disks at the same time, and boot off of a Live
CD (or a USB key), then the simplest option is:
- connect both disks
- boot off of your rescue USB/CD.
- dd if=/dev/[olddisk] of=/dev/[newdisk]
- wait

PS: This presumes the new disk is at least as large as the old one.
And it will leave the additional space free: you can later on change
your partitioning (resize the last partition, or add another one) to
make use of the extra space.
