Roy, Can I suggest you look at using Clonezilla? It does pretty much what you need. After you have restored the disk to the new laptop checkout gparted to resize the partition if the new drive is bigger.

Totally new, i would like to replicate the hard drive on my old machine that runs suse 11.2. I know the windows chaps have Acronis that makes an image of the hard dive. Do we have a software in linux that can serve the same purpose. I dont want to lose any of the software that i have installed on my old laptop while shifting to the new one. I dont want to go through the hustle of installing th rpms again.
