The procedure I have used successfully was:

install both drives
boot from install CD
fdisk new drive and partition as desired
format new partitions
mount old and new partitions
use rsync to copy files from old to new partitions
follow install instructions for putting a boot loader on the new drive
remove old drive and boot from new one
